Giacomo Balla (1871-1958)
Futurism
Attracted by the ideas of Filippo Marinetti (1876-1944) - the founder and chief theorist of Futurism - with which he agreed strongly, Balla signed the Futurist Manifesto in 1910, along with Boccioni, Severini, Carlo Carra (1881-1966) and Luigi Russolo (1885-1947), although he did not participate in a Futurist exhibition until 1913.
Instead, he continued to pursue his pictorial depiction of light, movement and speed, as exemplified by his famous masterpiece Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo), travelling to London and to Dusseldorf in the process, where he began producing abstract art, as his analysis of movement and dynamism led to a complete decomposition of forms - see, for instance, works like The Car has Passed (1913, Tate, London) and Swifts: Paths of Movement + Dynamic Sequences (1913, Museum of Modern Art, New York).
