Futurism II - Capturing Universal Dynamism

"For us the gesture will no longer be an arrested moment of universal dynamism: it will clearly be the dynamic sensation itself made eternal." (from the 'Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting' in Poesia, 11 apr 1910). Carlo Carra, The Red Horseman, 1913, o/c Umberto Boccioni. Unique Forms of Continuity in Space. 1913. Bronze, 43 7/8 x 34 7/8 x 15 3/4 inches Tisdall (Futurism) describes the Futurist Painters' ambition: Not the analysis of movement, nor the capture in visual form of a single movement. But the visual expression of the essence.
