Umberto Boccioni Quotes


All art critics are useless or harmful.

These days I am obsessed by sculpture! I believe I have glimpsed a complete renovation of that mummified art.

To paint a human figure you must not paint it; you must render the whole of its surrounding atmosphere.

A time will come when the eye of man will perceive colors as feelings within itself.

We must now learn to draw inspiration from the tangible miracles that surround us.

There is neither painting nor sculpture nor music nor poetry. The only truth is creation.
