Horse+Rider+Houses 1914

"Horse+Rider+Houses" is a 1914 painting by Italian Futurist artist Umberto Boccioni, known for his dynamic and abstract depictions of modern life. This artwork exemplifies the Futurist fascination with motion and speed, capturing the blurred and fragmented forms of a horse and rider as they move through a bustling urban landscape. The painting's vibrant colors and angular brushstrokes create a sense of energy and dynamism, reflecting the rapid changes of the early 20th century. Boccioni's use of overlapping planes and fragmented forms challenges traditional perspective, emphasizing the fleeting nature of movement and the dynamism of modern life.
