Umberto Boccioni

MASI continues its series of exhibitions devoted to its collections and the art history of Ticino, with a focus on Umberto Boccioni (1882–1916).

The exhibition, which revolves around the pre-Futurist paintings donated to the city of Lugano by the heirs of Gabriele Chiattone – a patron and supporter of the artist during his Milan years – offers an intimate look at a very important stage in Boccioni’s artistic development. Also featuring paintings from his early Futurist period, the show conveys the intensity of the artist’s quest for a new painterly language capable of capturing modernity and the pace of contemporary life.
