Tullio Crali


Boats on the Canal 1950s

Tullio Crali (born in Igalo, 1910 – died in Milan, 5 August 2000) was an Italian artist associated with Futurism. A self-taught painter, he was a late adherent to the movement, not joining until 1929. He is noted for realistic paintings that combine "speed, aerial mechanisation and the mechanics of aerial warfare", though in a long career he painted in other styles as well.

Uberto Bonetti, futurista


Buon compleanno al pittore toscano Uberto Bonetti (Viareggio, 31 gennaio 1909), nato l’anno in cui fu pubblicato il “Manifesto del futurismo” di Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, corrente alla quale avrebbe aderito appieno per tutta la sua vita. 
In particolare fece propri i principi dell’aeropittura futurista, enunciati sempre da Marinetti & Co. nel 1929. Realizzò seguendo quello stile le sue più significative rappresentazioni di città.

Gino Severini

Gino Severini (7 April 1883 – 26 February 1966) was an Italian painter and a leading member of the Futurist movement. For much of his life he divided his time between Paris and Rome. He was associated with neo-classicism and the "return to order" in the decade after the First World War. During his career he worked in a variety of media, including mosaic and fresco. He showed his work at major exhibitions, including the Rome Quadrennial, and won art prizes from major institutions.

Giacomo Balla, Futurist suit

Giacomo Balla - Futurist suit


"We must invent futurists clothing, hap-hap-hap-hap-happy clothes, daring clothes with brilliant colours and dynamic lines. They must be simple, and above all they must be made to last for a short time only in order to encourage industrial activity and to provide constant and novel enjoyment for our bodies. USE materials with forceful MUSCULAR colours - the reddest of reds, the most purple of purples, the greenest of greens, intense yellows, orange, vermilion - and SKELETON tones of white, grey and black. And we must invent dynamic designs to go with them and express them in equally dynamic shapes: triangles, cones, spirals, ellipses, circles, etc. The cut must incorporate dynamic and asymmetrical lines, with the left-hand sleeve and left side of a jacket in circles and the right in squares. And the same for waistcoats, stockings, topcoats, etc. The consequent merry dazzle produced by our clothes in the noisy streets, which we shall have transformed with our FUTURIST architecture, will mean that everything will begin to sparkle like the glorious prism of a jeweler’s gigantic glass-front, and all around us we shall find acrobatic blocks of colours set out like the following wordshapes:

Gerardo Dottori (11 November 1884 - 13 June 1977) was an Italian Futurist painter. He signed the Futurist Manifesto of Aeropainting in 1929. He was associated with the city of Perugia most of his life, living in Milan for six months as a student and in Rome from 1926-39.
Dottori's' principal output was the representation of landscapes and visions of Umbria, mostly viewed from a great height. Among the most famous of these is Umbrian Spring and Fire in the City, both from the early 1920s.

Aeropittura (Aeropainting) was a major expression of the second generation of Italian Futurism, from 1929 through the early 1940s. The technology and excitement of flight, directly experienced by most aeropainters, offered aeroplanes and aerial landscape as new subject matter.

Movimento Futurista: una figura non è mai stabile davanti a noi


Fortunato Depero- Chirottero metropolitano o Ciclista attraverso la città (1945)

Umberto Boccioni - Dinamismo di un ciclista - 1913

Natalia Gončarova -Il Ciclista - 1913

Gerardo Dottori - Ciclista - 1916

Mario Sironi - Il ciclista -1916

"Il gesto per noi, non sarà più un momento fermato dal dinamismo universale: sarà, decisamente, la sensazione dinamica eternata come tale.Tutto si muove, tutto corre, tutto volge rapido. Una figura non è mai stabile davanti a noi, ma appare e scompare incessantemente. Per persistenza della immagine nella retina, le cose in movimento si moltiplicano, si deformano, susseguendosi, come vibrazioni, nello spazio che percorrono".


(dal Manifesto della Pittura Futurista)

Fortunato Depero (March 30, 1892 – November 29, 1960) was an Italian futurist painter, writer, sculptor and graphic designer.
Depero grew up in Rovereto and it was here he first began exhibiting his works, while serving as an apprentice to a marble worker. It was on a 1913 trip to Florence that he discovered a copy of the paper Lacerba and an article by one of the founders of the futurism movement, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Depero was inspired, and in 1914 moved to Rome and met fellow futurist Giacomo Balla. It was with Balla in 1915 that he wrote the manifesto Ricostruzione futurista dell’universo ("Futurist Reconstruction of the Universe") which expanded upon the ideas introduced by the other futurists. In the same year he was designing stage sets and costumes for a ballet.
