About the Item
The sculpture we want to tell you about is a fascinating example of Italian Futurist art from the 1930s, made of bronze. The Futurist period, which emerged in Italy in the early 20th century, was characterized by a fervent emphasis on dynamism, speed, movement, and energy. Futurist artists sought to represent the modernity of the industrial age through art, embracing the idea of a future in constant change and progress.
The bronze sculpture is a perfect example of Futurist poetics. The fact that it depicts a man with a spherical shield and straight, dynamic lines suggests a strong connection to the theme of protection and strength, elements that are accentuated through stylistic and formal choices. The sphere of the one shield could also evoke a feeling of rotational movement, adding further dynamism to the composition.
The stylization of man with the accentuation of features through dynamic and geometric forms is typical of the Futurist approach to art. The artists of this movement were interested in breaking down traditional forms and reassembling them in order to express the dynamism and energy of the new realities of their time. This form of representation accentuates the sense of movement and power, helping to create an image that almost seems to vibrate with energy.
The black marble base on which the sculpture stands may have been chosen to create a visual contrast with the bronze and to emphasize the importance of the work itself. The blackness of the marble could also symbolize the concept of darkness, behind which lies the light of the future and modernity.
The signature on the sculpture, although not legible due to age, may still have historical and artistic value. Signatures and maker's marks are often considered an integral part of the artwork, as they contribute to its provenance, authenticity, and history.
This sculpture represents a valuable and significant artifact from the Italian Futurist period of the 1930s. It represents the key foundations of this artistic movement, such as the desire to capture the movement, speed, and energy of the modern world. The sculpture thus becomes not only a work of art, but also a visual record of an era of change and an innovative approach to art.
