Boccioni was born in Calabria, in the south of Italy.
Boccioni continued to be influenced by both Divisionism and Symbolism, travelling to Paris – where he briefly met Modigliani – and through western Russia in 1906.
The following year Boccioni became fascinated with sculpture after seeing the works of Medardo Rosso in Paris and he began to experiment with this medium, attempting to unite his subjects with the space and objects surrounding them and advocating the use of a variety of materials in the creation of the work.

In 1912, Umberto Boccioni created his pivotal masterpiece Materia in Milan, a city that was quickly modernizing and that represented the ideal vision of the new metropolis of the Futurists.
Boccioni's Materia: A Futurist Masterpiece and the Avant-garde in Milan and Paris takes this seminal painting as its centerpiece and investigates a series of core themes such as Boccioni's evolution from Divisionism to Futurism, the exchanges between Futurism and Cubism, and the relationship between Boccioni's painting and sculpture.
However, by 1910, Boccioni had developed a specifically Futurist mode of painting, as he pronounced in "Futurist Painting: Technical Manifesto" of that year, which was followed by his "Technical Manifesto of Futurist Sculpture" in 1912.

The City Rises by Umberto Boccioni is a case in point.
Basically, Boccioni still works here within a modified Impressionist technique whose atomizing effect on mass permits the forceful, churning symbols of horse and manpower to slip out of their skins in an Impressionist blur of moving light.
The impact of Cubism on the Futurists was immediate, as may be suggested by Boccioni's scene of railroad-station farewells, the first in his 1911 series, States of Mind.

 Umberto Boccioni biography, painting, prints and posters
In 1901, Boccioni and his friend Gino Severini studied Divisionism with Balla, but Boccioni did not begin to apply its principles until about 1908, when he moved to Milan and met F. Martinetti, the leader of the literary Futurist movement.
Futurism breaks down form by eliminating horizontals and verticals for which it substitutes whirling lines, forcing a reaction of forms, movement, and color to light and shade.
Although at first quite figurative, Boccioni's painting moved closer and closer to abstraction, combining lines and planes to suggest both the recognizable object and its movement through space.

 ARCHITETTURA FUTURISTA Personaggi: Umberto Boccioni
Boccioni was one of the most lucid theorists of Futurist aesthetics, identifying in the Theory of Plastic Dynamism one of the movement's benchmarks.
In fact his conception of painting as sculpture, in which the spectator is placed at the centre of the painting in a continuous physical relationship with it, as an enveloping environment, tends to include architectural space (and the city as the place of modernity) as one of the prime elements of representation.
This is a transposition of Boccioni's constant interest in the relation between the physical environment and an object placed in the foreground, in dynamic interpenetration between the two, a technique which shows analogies with the later Monument to the Third International, by Tatlin...

 FUTURISM AND THE FUTURISTS - Umberto Boccioni   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Umberto Boccioni was born on 19 October 1882 in Reggio Calabria to parents from Romagna.
Boccioni has been called the arbiter elegantarium of the group and, as the most articulate of the group, was the official declaimer (with Marinetti) of their manifestos at the various Futurist evenings.
Boccioni, however, found this approach too schematic, preferring an interpretation of dynamism as synthetic and based on Bergson's vitalistic principle of "duration" in which time is is evaluated globally rather than reduced to a series of frozen moments.

From photographs and from Boccioni's own renderings of 1906 to 1915, she appears to have been a large matronly woman with a broad round face, thick knobby fingers, and elegantly upswept gray hair.
Boccioni featured her in at least forty-five paintings, drawings, etchings, and sculptures, often producing a series of studies based on a single pose.

 Palazzo Reale Milano Umberto Boccioni - Pressrelease
All'inizio Boccioni esegue ritratti della madre a mezzo busto, dove la fusione tra la figura e l'ambiente circostante e' perseguita con materiali diversi, come una balaustra in ferro, una finestra in legno e vetro, una crocchia di capelli veri o di filo di ferro.
E' un modo di lavorare che Boccioni adotta anche in pittura, aggiungendo al quadro pezzi di tela in corso d'opera.
Boccioni gli contrappone nel 1913 il suo capolavoro Forme uniche nella continuita' dello spazio, dove il corpo umano e' torso e avviluppato in una spirale di movimento, con volumi aguzzi e sporgenti che ne fanno un'opera modernissima e il simbolo del futurismo italiano.

Umberto Boccioni, Charge of the Lancers, 1915, tempera and collage on paper, 32 x 50 cm, coll.
Nevertheless Boccioni (1882-1916) depicts this one, which is allegorical rather than real.
A collage refers to the French advance in Alsace in the summer of 1914, which was quickly halted, and offers a clue to the militant francophilia of the Futurists among whom Boccioni had been one of the leading figures since 1911 and probably the most inventive artist.
