As a coda to the rich series of events that celebrated Futurism's centennial in 2009, this panel on the Italian American artist Joseph Stella and his iconic Futurist polyptych ("Voice of the City of New York Interpreted," owned by the Newark Museum) illustrates and contextualizes the hybrid trajectory of an artist who emigrated from Italy to the U.S., acted as a bridge between the transatlantic avant-garde groups through his regular travel between the two countries, and created with his paintings some of the most memorable images of New York City's architecture.
