Painting Description
"States of Mind II: Those Who Stay" (Italian: "Stati d'animo II: Quelli che restano") is a 1911 painting by Italian Futurist artist Umberto Boccioni (1882–1916). The work is part of a triptych known as "States of Mind," which explores the psychological dimensions of modern life, particularly the experiences of departure, grief, and turmoil associated with the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the early 20th century. The other two paintings in the series are "The Farewells" (Italian: "Gli addii") and "The Farewell" (Italian: "L'addio").
"States of Mind II: Those Who Stay" captures the emotional state of those left behind as loved ones depart, reflecting on themes of isolation, stasis, and the internal struggle of the human psyche. Boccioni employs a dynamic and fragmented style characteristic of Futurism, with swirling forms and intersecting planes that convey a sense of movement and emotional intensity. The painting's composition breaks with traditional perspective, using abstracted shapes and a fusion of figures and background to evoke the complex feelings of those who remain stationary amidst the bustle of modern life.
As a central figure in the Futurist movement, Boccioni was deeply interested in expressing the sensations and dynamism of the modern world. "States of Mind II: Those Who Stay" exemplifies his innovative approach to capturing the intangible aspects of human experience through art. The painting is a testament to Boccioni's belief in the transformative power of technology and the new visual language required to depict the realities of contemporary existence.
The "States of Mind" series was exhibited at the first exhibition of the Futurist painters at the Bernheim-Jeune gallery in Paris in 1912, and it has since been recognized as a seminal work in the development of modern art. "States of Mind II: Those Who Stay" is held in high esteem for its pioneering technique and its profound exploration of the human condition in the face of modernity. The painting is housed in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, where it continues to be an important piece for both its historical significance and its enduring relevance to contemporary audiences.
