Umberto Boccioni

Beauty exists only in struggle; there is no masterpiece without sweat.

The street becomes the place of creation.

We renounce the cult of tradition and academic forms.

Dynamic sensation is the essence of modern life.

Sculpture should be the sum of all possible plastic values assembled together.

The futurist's eye is intoxicated by the sight of the crowd.

We want to glorify war, the only hygiene of the world.

The line of force is the soul of the object.

Art is not a mirror but a hammer.

In futurism, we paint the invisible.

The machine is the new god of our age.

We must paint with the fury of a machine gun.

Tradition is the enemy of progress.

The futurist revolution is in the soul of the artist.

Light and color are the flesh of the world.

We break with the past to build the future.

The interpenetration of planes is the key to futurist form.

Art should accelerate the pulse of the nation.

In the fusion of man and machine, we find true beauty.

The canvas must vibrate with energy.
