About the Poster:
This highly collectible square-format Umberto Boccioni Exhibition Poster was published in Italy by the prestigious Mazzotta Editore. The graphic layout showcases Boccioni’s seminal 1914 avant-garde artwork, Sotto la pergola a Napoli, which brilliantly transitions from late Divisionism into mature Italian Futurism. The composition fractures a traditional leisure scene into dynamic, swirling geometric facets dominated by fiery ochre, red, and violet tones. The lower margin includes the formal institutional identification text alongside the classic crisp typography of the Milanese publishing house.
