The revolutionary and innovative charge of the work of Fortunato Depero, a great experimenter who tried to bring his art among the people and into the streets, is at the center of a new episode of “The Influential Muses” curated by Laura Mattioli who presents the the work of the only Italian futurist who arrived in the United States of America.
For his artistic production Depero used woolen cloth to produce tapestries, cushions, waistcoats like no other before… even in the case of the “Nine heads with Hat”, a cushion on which nine simplified portraits of Al Capone are depicted: embracing the language visual of advertising, he has found an adequate way to reflect the modern metropolis.
