Over het werk

With his art the Italian Futurist Umberto Boccioni above all wanted to express movement. He tried to capture the transmission of light and sound as well as the power and motion of machines and the speed of all modern life. His motorcyclist is first and foremost about dynamism: not only of the vehicle, but also of the environment which is constantly in motion.
