Umberto Boccioni

RELAX with ARTIST Umberto Boccioni



Umberto Boccioni's painting captured me as I strolled past,... 
I had to loop back to consider what I had glanced... and you must understand my moments in seconds and minutes in Roma at any museum is a precious and rare commodity ~ anything that lures me back, and causes any pause in my pace is typically worthy of the pause ~ and often I'm not sure what is luring me back ~ even which piece of work in the corridor.   But this painting drew me back for the form and the colors... and some hidden nuances when viewed in-person... 

the work has a pigment and style that reminds me of another artists work in a private gallery.  I prefer the colors in my 2019 quick exposure (even though it is a low resolution)... it captures some of the layering and flow of pigment I am most interested...

ARTIST :  Umberto Boccioni


"Cavallo + Cavaliere + Caseggiato"

"Horse + Knight + Block "

cm. 10,2 x 13

Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Viale delle Belle Arti, 131, Roma (RM) 
- Sala espositiva - Sala 22 Avanguardie, inv. 4604 (1950)

an autographed painting by Umberto Boccioni made with oil on canvas technique 
early 1914 in Roma. 
In this period Boccioni's orientations, although following a firm direction
undergo changes regarding the motions and the decompositions.

In this small painting, however, there is also a certain recovery of the 

luminous post-impressionistic chromaticism that brings it very close to Cézanne

especially in the landscape elements present in the background (top right), 

despite the definition of clear Cubist synthesis .


There are some expressionistic hints in the work that had been dormant for some time in the artist.
