Descriptive Note
|
Text: The Futurist ideals were dynamism,
progress, and motion in the new machine age. In this
sculpture, the rush of air displaced by its forward
movement is represented as space in visible extensions
sprouting like wings from the figure's limbs. The primary
subject is not the nude, but movement itself. According
to Boccioni, an invisible fourth dimension existed as
a higher realm of existence where space and time merged.
