“Lines of Movement and Dynamic Succession” is an abstract artwork by Giacomo Balla, created in 1913 in Italy. Executed on paper with tempera, the piece measures 68 x 49 cm and is part of the Futurism art movement. Presently, it is housed in a private collection.
The artwork displays a fervent depiction of movement and energy, characterized by overlapping and intersecting lines that appear to be in constant motion. Dark, sweeping arcs juxtapose with lighter, sharp lines, creating a dynamic rhythm and interplay of forms. The palette primarily consists of earthy tones, with variations of browns, whites, and blacks, conveying a sense of depth and vibrancy. The composition reflects Futurism’s celebration of modernity, speed, and technology, embodying the essence of kinetic progression and fluidity.
