Description:
|
Boccioni’s meeting with Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in late 1909 or early 1910 led him to Futurism, which was proclaimed as a literary movement in February 1909, and was now reborn as a painting movement. In Riot in the Galleria (painted in Milan), executed in the months immediately after his signature of the Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting (1910), he utilized, and took to an extreme, the Divisionist technique to study the movements of the crowd and to create unprecedented effects of light and dynamism, accentuated by the use of extremely bright complementary colors.
