Luigi Russolo worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Luigi Russolo as Italian Futurist artist and composer (1885–1947).
Luigi Russolo was born at Portogruaro in 1885. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at Brera Academy.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.
He worked as composer, musical instrument maker and music theorist.
His recorded movement is futurism.
His best-known work is Music. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
That the work was made in Italy shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Luigi Russolo died in 1947, aged 62. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
