Umberto Boccini (Reggio Calabria, 1882 – Verona, 1916) is a Italian sculptor and painter of the Futurismo Movement. Futurists always prefers movement over stasis, Boccini‘s project was to “dynamise” Cubism (and other Avant-Guards), and put all images in perpetual motion.

Boccini wrote a lot about Art. Here are a couple quotes:
“Only a very modern choice of subjects can lead to the discovery of new plastic ideas”.
“To destroy the entirely literary and traditional nobility of marble and bronze! To affirm that even twenty different materials can contribute in a single work to the purpose of plastic emotion. “
