ICONOGRAFY
CHOSEN FOR THE PROJECTUAL PROCESS Images by G. Balla e G. Severini
Gino Severini; Dancer+sea=Flowers pot
New York, Private collection
This image is interesting for the volumetric effect that it inspire
into the observer: this allusion is useful, in my opinion, for the
projectual process I'll have to undergo with these images.
Giacomo Balla; Plasticity of lights+speed
New York, from Joseph Slifka collection
This image, far from the cromatisms of the previous, propose a sense of
dinamicity and straight movement also obtained through the light and shadow
effect. This allows a diffrent levels interpretation of the same image.
Giacomo Balla; Shout shapes 1915
Roma, Balla sisters collection
This image, recovering the cromatic effects of the first, gives a sense of
self collapsing circolar dinamicity: it hints to a vortex, and this is in
clear opposition to the straight movement alluded by the precedent image.
At the moment is not clear yet the way in which we are asked to obtain
a 3D image from these pictures; anyway, I'm intentioned to create a sort of
equilibrium between a self collapsing vortex and a straight movement.
Giacomo Balla; Feu d'artifice
stage sketch, a feature, 1915-16
Milan, Theatre museum of La Scala.
This image, proposed by the teacher as example during a lesson, is quite easy
to be analysed for its clear relation to a 3D space. I'm intended to use this
image as an approach to the studyng methodology, to use it right after to more
complicated images.
Giacomo Balla; Feu d'artifice
stage sketch, 1915-16
Milan, Theatre museum of La Scala.
Fillia; Drummer
olio su tela, 1927
private collection
With this drawing we find the attempt of the author to express, on a piece of
canvas, a series of sounds, those of the drummer, of course.
