Untitled (Schnelligkeit) (Speed) 1914 - 1922

Umberto Boccioni's "Untitled (Schnelligkeit) (Speed)" is a dynamic, abstract lithograph from 1914-1922. Created during the early days of Futurism, this artwork embodies the movement's interest in capturing the energy and motion of modern life. Using bold lines and fragmented forms, Boccioni evokes the sensation of rapid movement, perhaps a car or a train, through a series of overlapping, fragmented shapes. This lithograph exemplifies the Futurists' desire to break away from traditional artistic forms and express the dynamism of the modern world.
