About this artwork

A bold figure strides powerfully, marching like a proud soldier. This sculpture was made by Italian artist Umberto Boccioni, around the time when exciting new inventions like cars and electricity were being produced. The artist wanted to show how humans might be affected too.

The body of this figure looks as though it might have turned into a machine, or a robot. What do you think happened before and after this transformation? What super powers could this new being have? If you had super powers, what would you like to be able to do?
