Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash, c. 1912 by Giacomo Balla

Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash, c. 1912 by Giacomo Balla A dachshund trots on a leash beside its owner's hurrying feet, its short legs and swinging lead multiplied into a blur of motion across the pavement. Giacomo Balla (Italian, 1871-1958) painted this study in 1912 as a leading figure of the Futurist movement, using repeated, overlapping forms to capture the sensation of speed and movement rather than a single frozen instant.

Artist: Giacomo Balla (Italian, 1871-1958). Date: 1912.
