Gino Severini (Italy) 1883-

ARTIST PROFILE



Italian painter, born in Rome, one of the founders of futurism. His paintings, influenced by the fragmented cubist technique, represent action or movement as a swirling composition of broken lines and shapes, as in his well-known study of a dancer, Dynamic Hieroglyphic of the Bal Tabarin (1912, Museum of Modern Art, New York City). He also worked in mosaic and fresco, and he wrote influential books on the theory of art. Working chiefly in Paris, Severini was instrumental in disseminating futurism outside Italy.
