EDITORS COMMENTS
La Signora Sacchi," a captivating drypoint on paper created by the Italian Futurist artist Umberto Boccioni in 1907, presents a profound and thought-provoking depiction of an elderly woman. The image, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, transports us back in time to the early 1900s and invites us to contemplate the rich cultural heritage of Italy. Boccioni, a pioneer of the Futurist movement, is renowned for his dynamic and innovative approach to art. However, in "La Signora Sacchi," he offers a departure from the typical Futurist themes of speed, violence, and technology. Instead, he focuses on the human form, capturing the essence of age and experience in the profile of this unnamed woman. The artist's masterful use of the drypoint technique adds depth and texture to the image, with the intricate engraved lines conveying the wrinkles and folds of the woman's face and the delicate folds of her clothing. The contrast between the dark, rich tones and the lighter areas creates a striking visual effect, further emphasizing the woman's age and the passage of time. As we gaze upon "La Signora Sacchi," we are reminded of the universal themes of aging and the human condition. The woman's profile, with its strong, defined features and the subtle hint of a smile, invites us to connect with her on a deeply personal level. This powerful and evocative work of art serves as a testament to Boccioni's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to exhibit "La Signora Sacchi" as part of its extensive collection of prints and drawings, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the 20th century and the enduring legacy of Umberto Boccioni.
