When I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art a couple weeks ago I was very surprised to see FUdCnS in the “modern” art gallery…it’s one of the ones cast in 1950, but, still has quite a presence. Has it always been there and I just didn’t know?
I think I prefer the smaller one at the Peggy Guggenheim Villa in Venice. Somehow the smaller size seems paradoxically livelier to me…what do people think?
I think I need to make a trip up to the Met to see it with my own eyes and feel that presence. While I’m there, I’ll visit another sculpture with a strong presence, the Kongo Power Figure.

I think I just saw this on a book’s cover.

For some reason I just saw this reply, sorry for the delay in response. Yes! When I was compiling a new Boccioni bibliography last week I saw that that book had come out. Hopefully to reach a new audience. I really wish there was more of a push (and more funding, or at least I can never scare up any) to translate some of these important primary source documents.
