About the Artist
Umberto Boccioniwas an Italian painter and sculptor who is widely acknowledged to have been the most significant visual artist associated with Futurism. Born in Reggio Calabria, Italy in 1882, Boccioni began his artistic training in Rome before moving to Milan in 1907 where he became involved with the city's avant-garde circles. In 1909, he co-founded the Futurist movement with Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and other artists, writers, and poets.
About the Painting
Modern Idol is a prime example of Boccioni's pioneering modern art. Painted in 1911, this iconic work illustrates a passage from the 1910 ‘Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting’: "We will fight with all our might the fanatical religion of the past, a religion encouraged by the vicious existence of museums. We will glorify war—the world's only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman." Modern Idol is a powerful and dynamic image that captures the energy and movement of modern life. Painted in oil on panel, this work measures 60 x 58.5 cm and is currently housed at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London, United Kingdom.
