Umberto Boccioni was, like Barbara Hepworth (see Advent 9), both painter and sculptor. He was also one of the founders of the Italian Futurist movement. Out of Head+Light+Surroundings (which at first glance seems an abstract blur of colours) a human face and other represenatations emerge. The whole effect of this 1912 picture is provocative and satisfying, demanding some effort of attention from the viewer.
