Sculpture for the Machine Age

The Italian Futurists embraced dynamism and speed. The Boccioni Futuristic Man statue is an icon of early modern art. This Boccioni Futurism replica freezes motion in resin.

Boccioni wrote his technical manifesto of Futurist sculpture in 1912. He urged sculptors to mix different materials in dynamic forms.

Italian Futurism sculpture rejected quiet, timeless poses, and the Boccioni Futurism replica keeps that restless stance. It wanted the energy of electricity, cities, and photography.

The Original in Bronze

The Museum of Modern Art in New York holds a bronze cast. Seen as a Boccioni striding figure statue, it shows a body dissolving into speed. The figure fuses with the space around it, shaped by speed and wind.
