Formas únicas de continuidad en el espacio

1913, cast 1950
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 908
Boccioni fue uno de los principales exponentes del futurismo italiano, un movimiento caracterizado por el dinamismo de las formas y la descripción abstracta de la velocidad y el movimiento. El versátil artista, que practicaba el dibujo, la pintura y la escultura, fue también el autor de numerosos manifiestos futuristas. En el apogeo de su carrera, su tema escultórico favorito eran figuras musculosas y enérgicas atravesando el espacio a toda velocidad. La extrema distorsión del cuerpo masculino expresaba fuerza dinámica. Este bronce, considerado el más logrado de los experimentos escultóricos de Boccioni, se creó en cinco versiones, una de ellas en escayola (también de 1913). El futurista Filippo Tommaso Marinetti supervisó su fundición en 1949; el donante lo adquirió de la colección de Marinetti.
