描述

Ugo Pozzo is emblematic of the second wave of Italian Futurism, an avant-garde movement that celebrates speed and modernity. This work captures the monumentality and verticality of urban architecture through a spectacular low-angle perspective. The façades stretch skyward, creating a vision of the modern city that is both optimistic and anxiety-inducing. At their peak, the multicoloured skyscrapers form a polygonal opening, where the artist has placed his signature.
