Antonietta Raphael

Antonietta Raphael was an influential Italian painter and sculptor, known for her connection to the avant-garde movement in the early 20th century. Active primarily in the 1920s and 1930s, she was associated with the Futurist movement, which emphasized modernity, speed, and technology. Raphael's work often explored themes of movement and energy, characterized by dynamic forms and bold colors. In addition to her art, she played a significant role in promoting women artists during a time when their contributions were often overlooked. Her legacy continues to inspire discussions on gender and innovation in the arts.
