1. The Motor Bus
painting
Passage accompanying entry: "It has been my endeavour to produce by means of lines and planes the rhythmic sensation of speed, of spasmodic motion, and of deafening noise. The heavy vehicle pursues its headlong career from Montmartre to Montrouge along the crowded streets of Paris, dashing across the path of other motors, grazing their very wheels and hurling itself in the direction of the houses. "The houses enter the motor-bus, the motor-bus enters the houses." (Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painters.)"

2. The Nord-Sud Railway
painting
Passage accompanying entry: "The idea of the speed with which a lighted body spins through dark or lighted tunnels, is conveyed by means of colours, tones and forms. The great notice boards placarded in the stations enter the compartments in motion. The letters written on the placards act upon the memory through their literary significance at the same time as they act upon the eyes by means of their colour. "

3. A Dancer at Pigal's
painting
Passage accompanying entry: "The circular rhythmic movement of a dancer, the folds of whose dress are held out by means of a hoop. These folds preserve their exterior form, modified in a uniform manner through the rotary movement. In order the better to convey the notion of relief, I have attempted to model the essential portions in a manner which is almost sculptural. Light and ambience act simultaneously on the forms in movement."

4. Spanish Dancers at the Monico
painting
Passage accompanying entry: "Musical rhythm accompanies the arabesque of lines and planes, the harmony of tones and values. Light, translated through abstract forms, now and then breaks into the rhythm."

5. The Bear Dance at the Moulin Rouge
painting
Passage accompanying entry: " Displacement of bodies in atmosphere. Two persons form one plastic unity, rhythmically balanced. "
|
Gino Severini |
6. The Fête at Montmartre
painting
Passage accompanying entry: "My object has been to convey the sensation of a body, lighted by electric lamps and gyrating in the darkness of the Boulevard. The shapes of the pink pigs and of the women seated on them are the subordinate factors of the whole, whose rotary movement they follow while undergoing displacement from head to foot and vice-versa."

16. A Spanish Dancer at the Tabarin
drawing
Passage accompanying entry: "These drawings illustrate the pursuit of form, of balance of values, and of movement. Each drawing is an objective study, an effort in the direction of synthesis and the absolute. I consider the Plastic Absolute to be the communion, the sympathy which exists between ourselves, the centre of things and things themselves. 'The spectator must be placed in the centre of the picture' (Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting.)"

26. Still Life
drawing, Drawings with indications of colours
Passage accompanying entry: "An overpowering need for abstraction has driven me to put on one side all realisation of mass and of form in the sense of pictural relief. By the simple indication of values and of mass I have arrived at arabesque. The indication of form and colour should give us the total reality. These drawings and plastic rhythms."
