The funeral of anarchist Galli

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Museum of Modern Art (New York, the USA).

One of the master’s brightest and most famous paintings, which played a significant role in the development of Futurism. The composition of the picture is very saturated; it is pierced by vortex rhythms, in which incomplete figures and outlines of people rapidly flash. The predominantly red and black colours of anarchists create a feeling of tension. The work reliably conveys the revolt of the excited crowd, its rage and ruthlessness. The plot of the canvas has a political connotation since Galli was a real person who died during the suppression of the strike; his funeral turned into a fight between the police and the crowd.
