The artwork titled “Design sketches: ‘Mimicry synoptic’ or ‘Spring'” was created by the Italian artist Giacomo Balla in 1915. This piece belongs to the Futurism art movement and is classified under the genre of design.
The artwork features a dynamic and abstract composition characterized by a large, central blue sphere, within which a human figure can be discerned. Surrounding this sphere are three stylized, fluid forms that appear to be figures with elongated black hair, partially enveloped by flowing, pastel-colored garments in hues of white and pink. The background is marked by soft, impressionistic renderings of trees, suggesting a natural environment. The overall aesthetic of the artwork is fluid and vibrant, exemplifying the principles of movement and dynamism central to the Futurism movement. The artist’s signature and the year of creation, “Balla Futurista 1915,” are prominently visible.
