Umberto Boccioni was born in 1882 in Italy. He learned Pointilism in the studio of Giacomo Balla from 1898 to 1902. He met his Futurist collaborator Gino Severini in Rome. Boccioni adapted Filippno Marinetti's idea which glorified the dynamism of modern technology to the visual arts and become the lead of Futurist art. Boccioni was important not only in developing the movement's theories, but also in introducing the stylistic innovations that led to the dynamic, Cubist-like style now so closely associated with them.
He died while volunteering in the Italian army, aged only thirty-three, making him emblematic of the Futurists' celebration of the machine and the violent destructive force of modernity.
