Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916) was an influential Italian artist and sculptor, known for his contributions to the Futurist movement. His works spanned various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and photography. In "Study for Foot-Baller" (1913), Boccioni showcases his mastery of watercolor, ink, and tempera on paper. The dynamic composition captures the energy and athleticism of a football player in motion. "Periphery" (1909) is an oil painting that exemplifies Boccioni's early style. With bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, he depicts an urban landscape with a sense of movement and modernity. Boccioni's talent in portraiture is evident in "Portrait of a Woman" (c. 1909-10). Through skillful use of oil on canvas, he captures the subject's essence with delicate brushwork and subtle expressions. The sculpture "Antigrazioso" (1912-13) demonstrates Boccioni's experimentation with materials like patinated gesso. Its abstract form reflects the artist's exploration of movement and dynamism. In "Portrait of Ferruccio Busoni" (1916), Boccioni portrays the renowned composer through expressive brushstrokes that convey both physical likeness and inner emotions. One of his notable works from his series "States of Mind, " titled "Those Who Go" (1911), reveals Boccioni's interest in capturing psychological states through fragmented forms rendered in oil on canvas. "Horse, Rider, and Buildings" (1913-14) showcases Boccioni's fascination with depicting speed and technology intertwined within an urban environment using bold colors and geometric shapes. With "Plastic Synthesis - Seated Person" (1915), Boccioni explores three-dimensionality by merging human figures into their surroundings using oil on canvas. This work represents his pursuit of a new artistic language.
