Casa del Poeta Tragico G+

While the impressionists make a table to give one particular moment and subordinate the life of the table to its resemblance to this moment, we synthesize every moment (time, place, form, color-tone) and thus build the table. — Umberto Boccioni, Pittura e scultura futuriste (dinamismo plastico)

For Futurism the most important term is dynamismA rushing motor car is more beautiful than the Nike of Samothrace they believed and by dynamism they wanted to describe object’s motion. Here are a three of Umberto’s paintings that illustrate that, the first two from 1913, and the last from 1914 : Dynamism of a Cyclist, and Dynamism of man’s and woman’s head :)
