Giacomo Balla, the futurist of dynamism and light effects
Categories: AB Art Base / Disclaimer
Giacomo Balla was one of the most important artists of the Futurists. His artistic research into speed, dynamism and the effects of light made him one of the most original artists of his time.
Giacomo Balla (Turin, - Rome, ) was one of the leading exponents of Futurism, but also the one most closely linked to the Divisionist matrix.
