Portrait of the Artist
This painting was made by Umberto Boccioni in 1907 in Padua, where the artist joined his mother and sister who were staying there. He remained there until April of the same year, when he moved to Venice. The artist completed 2 other pieces during his time in Padua, his Portrait of Virgilio Brocchi and Portrait of the Painter Adriana Bisi Fabbri, which share their photographic cut (borrowed from the teachings of Giacomo Balla) and unusual format—Boccioni
