Umberto Boccioni (October 19, 1882 - August 16, 1916) was an Italian painter and sculptor and a member of the futurist movement. Like other futurists, his work centered around the portrayal of movement (dynamism), speed, and technology.
One of Umberto Boccioni's most famous paintings is The noise of the street enters the house in the Sprengel Museum in Hanover, Germany which featured an exhibition on futurism in 2001. Other important works include: the "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" (1913, Bronze) and "The City Rises" (1910, Painting).
Boccioni died after falling off a horse during a training exercise for World War I.
