FUTURISM was not just a school of painting but an attitude to life itself.
Reflecting the movement’s enthusiasm for the modern world, the powerful imagery in the work of Tullio Crali (1910-2000) embraced technology and the machine as key sources of creative inspiration.
His work focused on the visual and sensory drama of flight and is most closely associated with the genre of Futurist “aeropainting” during the inter-war years.
