Umberto Boccioni
This artist was considered the first person to
make a form of Futurism. Born on October 19,
1882, Boccioni always enjoyed the arts in Italy
and wanted to study more about it. He moved to
Rome to study artwork. He met another artist
named Gino Severini and they worked together
for a while.

-The City Rises is considered by many to be the very first truly

THE CITY RISES Futurist painting.

-Boccioni took a year to complete it and it was exhibited throughout

Europe shortly after it was finished. It testifies to the hold that Neo-
Impressionism and Symbolism maintained on the movement’s artists
even after Futurism was inaugurated in 1909

-The City Rises does capture the group’s love of dynamism and their
fondness for the modern city. A large horse races into the foreground
while several workers struggle to gain control of it, suggesting a
primeval conflict between humanity and beasts. The horse and
figures are blurred, communicating rapid movement while other
elements, such as the buildings in the background, are rendered more
realistically. At the same time, the perspective teeters dramatically in
different sections of the painting

THE FAREWELLS
-The Farewells was the first of Boccioni's three-part
series, States of Mind, which has long been seen as
one of the high points of the Futurist style in painting.
The focal point of the picture is provided by
movement itself - the locomotive, the airplane, the
automobile: modern machines that gave new meaning
to the word "speed.“

- In this work, set in a train station, Boccioni captures

the dynamism of movement and chaos, depicting
people being consumed by, or fused with, the steam
from the locomotive as it whizzes past.

MATERNITY
Gino Severini's 1916 series of figurative paintings exemplary in
'Maternity‘. Maternity was the first of his works to signal his shift
towards Neo-Classicism; evident here in his modern treatment of
the classical elements of motherhood. Severini's "mother" is
patently not lionized or beautified but her pose still adheres to the
rules of a classical proportion. Her clothing is modern but the folds
in the fabric of her blouse is reminiscent of classical sculpture and
painting. Her hairstyle appears rather classic in design, but her
facial expression and body language connote a sense of modern
anxiety. The mother is posed, but there is

a

) a sense of movement in the painting: she seems uncomfortable sat on her wooded stool
while her demeanor and facial expressions - her eyes are almost closed and her face is
expressionless - suggest she is very much representative of a mother of her time; a mother
who worries about the fate of her children in the midst of the "war to end all wars ".
