Umberto Boccioni
Italian, 1882–1916
Umberto Boccioni was an Italian Futurism painter. 28 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art, most of them oil paintings. Umberto Boccioni was born in Reggio Calabria.
Umberto Boccioni was an influential Italian painter and sculptor. He helped shape the revolutionary aesthetic of the Futurism movement as one of its principal figures. Despite his short life, his approach to the dynamism of form and the deconstruction of solid mass guided artists long after his death.
His works are held by many public art museums, and in 1988 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City organized a major retrospective of 100 pieces.
