This 1915 portrait by Italian Futurist artist Carlo Carra depicts Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the founder of Futurism, in a dynamic and fragmented style. Marinetti is shown seated at a desk, with his face and body reduced to geometric shapes. The Cubist influences of the painting can be seen in the fractured forms, overlapping planes, and multiple perspectives. The colors are bold and vibrant, highlighting the movement's passion for speed, technology, and modernity. This artwork is a prime example of the Futurist movement, which sought to capture the energy and dynamism of modern life.
