  Metaphysical Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It was the beginning of the XX century, it was a period of artistic turmoil that saw the birth of "Fauvism" (André Derain, Raul Dufy, Henry Matisse...), "Cubism" (George Braque, Fernard Léger, Pablo Picasso...), "Futurism" (Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrá...) and "Dada" (Jean (Hans) Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia...).
Carlo Carrá, Giorgio de Chirico and Giorgio Morandi were the architects of the movement that saw the participation of Filippo de Pisis, Mario Sironi, Alberto Savinio (pseudonym for Andrea de Chirico) and Oskar Schlemmer.
Although some of the paintings may suggest a sense of loneliness aggravated by isolation and prompted by fear in a variety of empty spaces, in fact they reaffirm man's forbidden love for the unknown and his ceaseless efforts for self realization.

 Futuristi - Futurists - Futuristes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Carlo Carra's "Funeral of the Anarchist Galli" (1911; Museum of Modern Art) is mentioned as one of the 50 most important paintings of the 20th Century (right up there with Warhol's soup!).
Carra attended Galli's funeral, as an active member of the anarchist movement, and vividly recorded the fighting between police and mourners.
I know Carra did not continue his involvement with anarchism, but I would be grateful if anyone could provide any infromation about his later political stance towards Italian fascism.

 Mark Harden's Artchive: "Futurism"
The confusion has persisted, however, because several of the Futurist painters, Boccioni, Carra, Soffici, and Severini (who, living in Paris, was familiar with Cubism from the first), appropriated aspects of the formal language of Cubism, using them to serve their own ends.
Boccioni and Carra made contact with Cubist painting in 1911, first through publications, then on an autumn trip to Paris under the guidance of Severini.
But the resemblance is superficial and, as Carra pointed out, both the purpose and the effect of their painting were different.

Collage by Carlo Carra (1914) at the International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction
Always one of my personal favorites, Carra is clearly following the cubist painterly style in this collage poem the composition moves outward from center in concentric circles and with a number of rays or lines of force moving out from this center giving an impression of an explosion of a loud noise of sound.
The words as well eminate from this same center for the most part helping to emphisize the feeling of expansion from a center.
