"Sci" and "Atletica Leggera" are two images from a set of 10 xilographs. What are xilographs?Xilographs are a type of woodcut or engraving on wood emphasizing the grain of the wood.
These images are part of Aerosilografo, Aeropittore, Aeroscultore, Futurista -- a work by Renato Di Bosso and F.T. Marinetti from about 1941.
As part of the 16 page monograph, there is also a one-page text by Marinetti and a facsimile of the Futurist manifesto l'Aerosilografia by Di Bosso.
The powerful original graphics include an abstract portrait of Marinetti and images of men moving, playing, and working.
A simple yet beautiful work combining old techniques with new ideas.
