Gino Severini

Painting

Italian artist Gino Severini was a leading figure of the Futurist movement in the years leading up to the First World War. His Futurist paintings built upon the geometry of Cubism, and he used iridescent color to achieve the dynamism, movement and energy that was synonymous with Italian Futurism. His celebration of new technologies echoed the building excitement and optimism of the early decades of the twentieth century in Italy.
