In 1933, the Italian sculptor Renato Bertelli created Profilo continuo di Mussolini, a stylized image of Benito Mussolini in the round based on Boccioni's Futurist principles of dynamism, speed, technology and violence. After the fall of Italy's Fascist regime, iconoclastic portraits of the authoritarian leader were destroyed, though Bertelli's design remained a critical influence for later artists including Robert Mapplethorpe and Tony Cragg. In 2004, the New York based designer Julian LaVerdiere produced Continuous Profile of Bush (After Renato Bertelli), in which former president George W. Bush's profile is rendered in the round with a glossy black resin on a walnut base. The swirling Futuristic portrait which appears in continual motion may reference the catastrophic events that came to define the Bush administration, including the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and subsequent combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. In reviving Bertelli's design, LaVerdiere connects the authoritarian rule of Mussolini to Bush's second term.
