Provenance : - Private collection, Paris. Expert: Mr Thomas MORIN-WILLIAMS In 1928, Giacomo Balla, the central figure of Italian Futurism, was 57 years old and living in Rome. Faithful to the movement despite its general loss of momentum, he pursued a dynamic, decorative style. His works include Autocaffè (self-portrait), Arrivederci - Elica a Valle Giulia, Evoluzione futurista and various abstract motifs for carpets and objects. He explores design, applied arts and vibrant geometric forms, applying futurist principles to everyday life and the optimistic reconstruction of the universe.
