What is Bruno Munari famous for?
Bruno Munari is famous for his work as an artist and designer. In his prolific career, he was known for various contributions to art, industrial design, film, architecture, art theory and technology. Munari’s principles and beliefs were built upon his early involvement in the Futurist movement, which he joined at the age of 19 using the pseudonym “Bum.” During the 1930s, Munari began to move towards Constructivism, particularly with his kinetic sculptures, called Useless Machines (begun 1933), meant to transform or complicate their surrounding environments.
