Giacomo Balla, works on paper
His style changed around 1909, when he became interested in describing processes related to light and movement, as seen in works such as The Violinist's Hand (1912) and The Speed of the Motorcycle (1913).
In 1910, he joined the Futurist style by signing the Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painters, a movement that rejected traditional aesthetics and attempted to exalt contemporary life through two dominant themes: the machine and movement. In works such as Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York), he attempted to represent both movement and speed. In the 1930s, he returned to figurative painting.
