The Motorcyclist by Fortunato Depero
Explore the connection between modernist art and motorcycle culture with Fortunato Depero’s The Motorcyclist, listed as a work from the 1920s. This Italian Futurist reproduction offers a distinctive choice for a study, studio or gallery devoted to experimental design. Choose it for an appreciation of Depero’s work or a personal interest in the meeting of machines, movement and art.
About the artwork
The motorcycling subject provides a starting point for enjoying the work as an artistic interpretation rather than a technical depiction of a particular vehicle. Its Futurist association connects it with an interest in motion and modern life, while allowing individual viewers to find their own response to the design. This product is a modern reproduction for wall display, not an original 1920s sheet or hand-worked artwork. No particular motorcycle make or model is implied.
A modernist gallery at home
Imagine placing the print beside a desk, with warm wooden furniture, softly textured seating and favourite design books nearby. Its motorcycle connection can make the space feel personal without requiring every accessory to follow a motoring theme. The black and white palette offers flexibility when coordinating neighbouring artwork, whether you prefer a monochrome arrangement or a contrast with colourful prints.
The small and medium formats can work as individual pieces or join an established gallery of modernist subjects. Pair it with the Harley-Davidson advertisement and Simard Sidecar poster for contrasting approaches to motorcycle artwork, or introduce Juan Gris for another exploration of geometric form. A shared frame style can connect the pieces while leaving their differences as part of the appeal. Consider the available wall area and usual viewing distance when choosing between the two sizes.
Paper, printing and finish
This reproduction is produced using giclée printing on 200gsm matte art paper. Giclée describes the method used for the modern print rather than the original artwork’s technique. Select a print-only version if you would like to use your own frame, or choose a framed option with a black frame and white mount. Both available paper sizes come in print-only and framed versions.
Choose your size
- Small: 11 × 14 in, available as a print only or framed.

- Framed options include a black frame and white mount. Select your preferred size and finish above.
Pair it with
Continue the motorcycle theme with the Harley-Davidson advertisement (1912) and Simard Sidecar poster. Add Juan Gris’s Cubist Still Life (1920s) to explore another modernist approach to geometric form.
