Following joining the Futurist group in 1910, Giacomo Balla entered a period of long, inward-looking experimentation into new stylistic motifs and avant-garde content. After several trials that took him close alternately to chrono-photography and Bragaglia’s photodynamics for the purpose of representing movement and dynamism, in 1913 he finally achieved a mature and extremely original version of Futurism in the development of his Compenetrazioni iridescenti (Iridescent Interpenetrations), and, above all, his series of Velocità astratte (Abstract Speed), cycles that confirmed him as one of the most autonomous and original voices of the Futurist movement.
