Description
A still life by Italian Futurist Alberto Magnelli, featuring a globe, a poster for the journal 'Lacerba', and a basket, rendered in bold colours and a simplified style.
This still life by Alberto Magnelli (1888-1971) presents a collection of objects rendered in a simplified, graphic style. Magnelli, an Italian artist, is associated with the Futurist movement, which embraced modernity and industrialisation. This work reflects that sensibility through its bold colours and flattened perspective. The composition features a globe, a poster for the Florentine Futurist journal 'Lacerba', and a small basket. The globe, depicted with schematic continents, suggests a world rapidly changing. The 'Lacerba' poster, with its prominent date of 1914, places the work within the context of pre-war Italy and the burgeoning Futurist movement. The basket, rendered in a bright red, adds a touch of domesticity to the otherwise avant-garde scene. Magnelli's use of colour is striking, with blocks of red, green, and blue contrasting against a neutral background. The lines are clean and defined, contributing to the overall sense of clarity and precision. The arrangement of the objects, while seemingly casual, is carefully considered, creating a balanced and visually engaging composition.

Artist Biography
Alberto Magnelli
Born in Florence in 1888, Magnelli spent time in Paris in the early twentieth century before returning to Italy, where the Composizioni emerged in 1915. He then largely set abstraction aside. The sustained return came in the 1930s: in 1935 he was included in the landmark grouping of Italian non-figurative painters at the second Quadriennale in Rome, the first occasion on which Bogliardi, Ghiringhelli, Reggiani, Licini, Soldati, and Magnelli exhibited together as a collective front. The records note that Magnelli was 'living in Paris' by then: he had already relocated and would remain there for the rest of his life.
In Paris he moved in the circle of Hans Arp and Sonia and Robert Delaunay. He was among the first to identify Nicolas de Stael's talent, alongside Arp and the Delaunays, encouraging the young Russian-born painter before he had found an audience.
His output is catalogued in Anne Maisonnier's catalogue raisonne, Alberto Magnelli: L'Oeuvre peint, published in Paris in 1975. A centenary exhibition was held at the Palais des Papes in Avignon in 1988. He died in 1971.
