Question

A sculpture from this country was reconstructed from red plaster fragments after a collector threw it in the dump. An artist from this country who called sculpture “that mummified art” turned to plaster and other mixed media in his work, (-5[1])seeking to destroy the “pretended nobility” of marble and bronze. A sketch in a “Technical Manifesto” from this country inspired a (15[1])work depicting the “interpenetration of planes” (15[2])of the title (15[1]-5[1])deconstructed object. (15[2]-5[1])This (15[1])country’s (15[1])20-cent (15[2])coin (15[1])features a (10[1])flowing sculpture striding (15[1])atop (15[2])(*) two (10[1])bronze (10[1])blocks. (10[2])Development (10[1])of a (15[1])Bottle was created (10[1])by a (10[1])dynamist artist (10[2])from this country who also sculpted Unique Forms (10[2])of (10[1])Continuity (10[5])in (10[1])Space. (-5[2])For 10 (-5[1])points, the Winged Victory (10[1])of Samothrace (-5[2])was (10[1])less beautiful than a “roaring motor car” (10[2])to the Futurist artists (10[1])of what (10[1])country? ■END■ (10[6]0[3])

ANSWER: Italy [or Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana] (All of the clues describe Umberto Boccioni. The first and third lines refer to Development of a Bottle in Space.)
