Description

With this artwork Boccioni aims at representing his idea on the concept of space, according to which not being able to see the distance means not to be able to perceive it. As a consequence, a spinning horse and some houses in the background look to the observer as single dynamic unity.

Umberto Boccioni sculpted Dynamism of a speeding Horse + Houses after publishing his manifesto on futurist sculpture technical rules. In this document the artist encourages the use of several and different materials, the idea of an interpenetration among subject and background and the refuse of closed forms.

[it] Dinamismo di un cavallo in corsa + case

Dinamismo di un cavallo in corsa + case è l'ultima opera scultorea di Umberto Boccioni, realizzata tra 1914 e 1915. È conservata nella Peggy Guggenheim Collection, presso palazzo Venier dei Leoni, nel centro storico di Venezia. Con questa scultura l'artista afferma la sua opinione secondo cui la natura stessa del senso visivo produce l'illusione della fusione delle forme; l'osservatore infatti, non avendo cognizione dell'effettiva distanza che intercorre tra il cavallo in corsa e le case sullo sfondo,[1] percepisce le due figure come parte di una singola unità dinamica.
