    'Unique Forms of Continuity in Space' by Umberto Boccioni (1913)
    Boccioni, as both a painter and sculptor, was a central figure in Futurism. 'Unique Forms of Continuity in Space,' wherein he depicts the fluid movement of the human body, is considered one of the movement's masterpieces and currently appears on the Italian 20 cent euro coin.
