Umberto Boccioni

influential Italian painter and sculptor

1882 CE to 1916 CE

Umberto Boccioni (October 19, 1882 – August 17, 1916) is an influential Italian painter and sculptor.

He helps 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 guides artists long after his death.

His works will be held by many public art museums, and in 1988 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will organize a major retrospective of one hundred pieces
