{– Futurist Sculpture}

‘Duchamp-Villon may have been influenced by Umberto Boccioni, one of the major figures in the Italian Futurist movement and a sculptor who epitomised the Futurist love of force & energy deriving from the machine. In “Unique Forms of Continuity in Space” (Figure 76)* and “Head + House + Light” (1911[ce]), he carried out** his theories that the sculptor should model objects as they interact with their environment, thus revealing the dynamic essence of reality.’
