Umberto Boccioni | "Elasticità" (Elasticity), 1912.

Click link at bottom of picture to embiggen

In Elasticity, the image of the horse and rider is fractured to capture and represent their dynamism, fuse them with the pylons, and bring the spectator into the center of the canvas.

Umberto Boccioni | "Dinamismo di un Calciatore" (Dynamism of a Soccer Player), 1913

Umberto Boccioni | "Composizione spiralica" (Spiral Composition), 1913

Umberto Boccioni (1882–1916) was the leading artist of Italian Futurism. During his short life, he produced some of the movement’s iconic paintings and sculptures, capturing the color and dynamism of modern life in a style he theorized and defended in manifestos, books, and articles.

Umberto Boccioni | "Self Portrait", 1905

In his sculptures, like his paintings, he wanted to express motion. In his “Founding and Futurist Manifesto” (1909), he declared:

“We affirm that the beauty of the world has been enriched by a new form of beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car . . . is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.”

Umberto Boccioni | "Forme uniche di continuità nello spazio", (Unique Forms of Continuity in Space)

Boccioni, like his fellow Futurists, was an ardent interventionist, campaigning for Italy’s entry into World War I on the side of the Allies. When Italy joined the war in 1915, he volunteered to fight. In August 1916, during cavalry exercises with his regiment, Boccioni fell from his horse. He died the next day at the age of thirty-three. Despite his premature death, he remains the best known artist of the Futurist movement.

Artist: Giacomo Balla

Year: 1912

Medium: oil on canvas

Dimensions: 89.8 cm × 109.8 cm (35.4 in × 43.2 in)

Location: Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo

Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (Italian: Dinamismo di un cane al guinzaglio), sometimes called Dog on a Leash or Leash in Motion, is a 1912 oil painting by Italian Futurist painter Giacomo Balla. It was influenced by the artist's fascination with chronophotographic studies of animals in motion. It is considered one of his best-known works, and one of the most important works in Futurism, though it received mixed critical reviews.The painting has been in the collection of the Albright–Knox Art Gallery since 1984.

REPURPOSING ITALIAN FUTURISM FOR THE LATEST IN POST-ROCK/ EXPERIMENTAL SOUNDS.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the now iconic poster art by Italian Futurist Fortunato Depero for the 1932 exposition Futurismo Trentino, later repurposed by graphic artist Peter Saville of Factory Records for NEW ORDER's 1981 debut album "Movement."

Resolution from largest to smallest: 1479x818, 1060x1078, & 790x790.

NEW ORDER

"Movement" / FACT 50

(Factory Records, 1981)

SLEEVE ART OVERVIEW: "Already prominent in NEW ORDER's early singles "Procession" and "Everything’s Gone Green," Saville turned to Italian futurism, and specifically Fortunato Depero’s poster for the 1932 exposition "Futurismo Trentino" for inspiration. Clean lines and strong typography had been visible from 1979’s "A Factory Sample," but here Saville imbued each stroke with veiled meaning, subtly adapting Depero’s design. Putting the album’s FAC. 50 matrix number front and centre, the cover is built around the "F" for Factory and "L," Roman numeral for 50, the light blue background of the UK release chosen by the band."
