Umberto Boccioni's Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, a bronze sculpture created in 1913, resembles much earlier works of ancient Greek and Roman art, specifically their depictions of human figures in motion. The sculpture is a representation of a human figure striding forward with its arms outstretched behind it, creating a sense of dynamic movement and energy. This kind of depiction of a figure in motion, with its emphasis on the fluidity of form and the suggestion of movement through space, is a hallmark of ancient Greek and Roman art, particularly in their depictions of athletes and warriors. Boccioni's sculpture can be seen as a modernist reinterpretation of these classical forms, using the language of abstraction and the techniques of modern industrial production to create a new vision of the human form in motion.
