Development of a Bottle in Space

The Futurist revolution was born in painting, and only later did Boccioni apply his ideas to sculpture as well: "through lines, forms and colour-forces the object lives in dynamism, which is the evolutionary intuition of plastic drama"; "to create from external vision an internal interpretation of the object which, by revealing an immanent and mobile appearance, makes it live in duration". Boccioni's plastic dynamism, therefore, excluding any static vision, led to the complete fusion, in the continuity of motion, of the immediate data of consciousness and of the objective reality on which it worked, without any chronological priority.
