Bruno Munari was one of the most important figures in 20th century Italian art and design. Beginning as one of the original Italian futurists, he became a truly multifaceted artist, sculptor, industrial designer, graphic designer, director, writer and poet. Munari has made major contributions to many fields of the visual arts, from modernism to futurism and concrete art, and also to the nonvisual arts (literature, poetry) with his research on games, teaching method, movement, tactile learning, kinaesthetic learning and creativity.

Bruno Munari
In his prolific career, Bruno Munari 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, Useless Machines (begun 1933), meant to transform or complicate their surrounding environments. Throughout his career, Munari was captivated by both a sense of whimsy and the manipulation of artificial light. After World War II, Munari also developed radical innovation in graphics, typography, and book publishing, through the latter creating pieces he would call Useless Books.
