Carlo Carrà was an Italian painter and a leading figure of the Futurist movement that flourished in Italy during the beginning of the 20th century.
In addition to his many paintings, Carrà wrote several books concerning art. Lived through and participated in all the avant-garde art movements of the 20th century, from Futurism (the futurist phase lasted 4–6 years) to metaphysical art, and from the Novecento Italiano movement to the Valori Plastici experiment.
“For the spirit, there exist no contradictions – only transformations and developments. Changing direction in art does not mean rejecting the past but broadening it so that it melds with another aesthetic concept; it means discovering new and hitherto unknown relationships, and opening one’s eyes wider, the better to grasp a greater number of different realities.” So did Carrà explain his chameleon-like transformations in 1942, after having, through long experience, found his own, autonomous style, while at the same time keeping up with the most recent trends in European painting and renewing the Italian figurative tradition.
In 1928, Carrà exhibited 14 paintings at the Venice Biennale, and in 1931 he had his room at the first Rome Quadriennale. In 1933, he signed the Manifesto Della Pittura Murale. Between 1934–38, Carrà traveled to Campania, Algeria and Malta, devoting himself to a series of large murals.
