Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Umberto Boccioni was prominent Italian painter and sculptor who helped shape the innovative aesthetic of the Futurism movement as one of its most important representatives. Despite his short life, his approach to the dynamism of form and the deconstruction of solid mass guided artists long after his death. From 1902 to 1910 he weaves between Pointillism and Impressionism, and the influence of Giacomo Balla, and Divisionism techniques are evident in early paintings. "The Laugh", 1911, is considered his first truly Futurist work. He had fully parted with Divisionism, and now focused on the sensations derived from his observation of modern life. Beginning in 1912, with "Elasticity" he completed a series of "Dynamism" paintings. In 1914 Boccioni published his book, which caused a rift between himself and some of his Futurist comrades. With "Horizontal Volumes" in 1915 and the "Portrait of Ferruccio Busoni" in 1916, he completed a full return to figurative painting.

Book excerpt: More than one hundred years after his death ? and almost six years after the publication of the general catalog edited by Maurizio Calvesi and this writer ? Umberto Boccioni continues to surprise scholars and art enthusiasts. The unpublished works identified in the last five and a half years are forty-one, including oil paintings, paper drawings and a sculpture, which are added to the large corpus of known works to testify, once again, to the extraordinary productiveness over a career that lasted less than twenty years. [?] Thanks to the discovery of some preparatory drawings of already known paintings and, in one case, vice versa by tracking a drawing with a similar subject to an unpublished painting, the practice implemented by the artist is confirmed. A practice already evident in the numerous known drawings that can be compared to the oil paintings: Boccioni used to carry out various studies on paper ? from the general compositional layout of the work to individual details ? before picking up his brushes. [?] The discovery of some unpublished works done abroad (in addition to Brazil and Australia) as well as France, Germany and England suggest that a European collection of Boccioni works had already been started, following the circulation of his compositions were presented at the first solo and collective exhibitions of the Futurist group. The activity of the Futurists group outside of Italy from 1912 to 1915 was remarkable. Exhibitions were held in Paris (1912 and 1913), Berlin (1912 and 1913), London (1912 and 1914) as well as in Brussels (1912), Rotterdam (1913), Leipzig (1914), all the way to San Francisco (1915).

Download or read book Practical Discourses on the Most Noble Art of Painting written by Jusepe Martínez and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jusepe Martínez’s Practical Discourses on the Most Noble Art of Painting (ca. 1673–75), though little known today, was highly influential on art, artists, and artistic practice and theory in Spain long after its publication. This volume is the first English translation of the Discourses, which, while circulated in manuscript copies, was not even published until the mid-nineteenth century. Martínez wrote the Discourses toward the end of his life as a well-traveled professional artist who had studied and worked in Italy and the major artistic and literary centers of Spain; his ideas were especially enriched by his participation in the elevated cultural life of his native Aragonese school. His discussions on art offer anecdotal knowledge from his friendships with many of the principal artists of Spain’s Golden Age, including Diego Velázquez and Alonso Cano, as well as writers and intellectuals of the period. Martínez’s text stands out for a nuanced humanism that is rare in practical treatises. Along with his original ideas on handling, pictorial aesthetics, and the vocation of painting, his work has even more affinities with philosophical discourses than with artists’ practical instructional books. Zahira Véliz’s introduction and notes provide historical context and situate Martínez’s ideas in his rich cultural milieu.

Download or read book Umberto Boccioni s States of Mind written by Sonya Shrier and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines Umberto Boccioni's series the States of Mind (1911) and discusses how these works represent a breakthrough in the artist's search to find a pictorial expression for concepts that occupied him throughout his career. The States of Mind exists in four complete iterations each comprised of three images: The Farewells, Those Who Go and Those Who Stay.The first set of oil paintings, begun in late summer of 1911, are in the Divisionist style and are in the collection of the Civica Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan. A set of charcoal and contè drawings on paper, likely completed in the fall of 1911, show the influence of the Symbolist style are in the collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art. A second series of oil paintings, also in MoMA's collection, was completed towards the end of 1911. These display an inflection of cubism and were reworked after the artist's trip to Paris in November in the same year. Finally a series of pen and ink drawings based on the second painted version which were then translated into xylographic prints, or woodcuts, for reproduction in the German magazine Der Sturm. Though the States of Mind has been established as one of the most important works in Boccioni's oeuvre and among the most significant in the Futurist movement, an in-depth monographic study on the work has never been written. This thesis looks at the States of Mind in the context of a number of key topics: the influence of the artistic movements Divisonism and Symbolism; the impact of Henri Bergson's philosophies; the significance of the railway station setting; and the intended ordering of the States of Mind's three panels. Through this study a more nuanced understanding of this seminal work will emerge.

Download or read book Inventing Futurism written by Christine Poggi and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1909 the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti published the founding manifesto of Italian Futurism, an inflammatory celebration of "the love of danger" and "the beauty of speed" that provoked readers to take aggressive action and "glorify war--the world's only hygiene." Marinetti's words unleashed an influential artistic and political movement that has since been neglected owing to its exaltation of violence and nationalism, its overt manipulation of mass media channels, and its associations with Fascism. Inventing Futurism is a major reassessment of Futurism that reintegrates it into the history of twentieth-century avant-garde artistic movements. Countering the standard view of Futurism as naïvely bellicose, Christine Poggi argues that Futurist artists and writers were far more ambivalent in their responses to the shocks of industrial modernity than Marinetti's incendiary pronouncements would suggest. She closely examines Futurist literature, art, and politics within the broader context of Italian social history, revealing a surprisingly powerful undercurrent of anxiety among the Futurists--toward the accelerated rhythms of urban life, the rising influence of the masses, changing gender roles, and the destructiveness of war. Poggi traces the movement from its explosive beginnings through its transformations under Fascism to offer completely new insights into familiar Futurist themes, such as the thrill and trauma of velocity, the psychology of urban crowds, and the fantasy of flesh fused with metal, among others. Lavishly illustrated and unparalleled in scope, Inventing Futurism demonstrates that beneath Futurism's belligerent avant-garde posturing lay complex and contradictory attitudes toward an always-deferred utopian future.
