Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of city representation in the works of Italian artists of the first half of the 20th century, from futurists to representatives of the “Roman school”. It is noted that at the beginning of the 20th century, in futurist paintings, the images of the  modern city were interpreted as states of the soul (in the works of Umberto Boccioni and Carlo Carr?). Later there appeared images of the city as a machine, as in the painting of Luigi Russolo, and “aero painting”, where there was no longer any human emotion (works by Tato and Tulio Crali can serve as an example). At the same time, in contrast to futurism, there was city depictions in “metaphysical painting”. This approach was used by Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carr?. Finally, in the 1920s and 1940s, such different authors as Giorgio Morandi, Ardengo Soffici, Carlo Carr?, Mario Sironi, representatives of the “Roman school” and the  early Renato Guttuso depict their everyday habitat: small Italian cities or the outskirts of  Milan, Rome or Bologna, which they saw every day.
