It is this brushwork, with its wealth of glowing streaks, bold contrasts of light and dark, and daring perspective, that constituted a unique and extraordinary model for the Futurist generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the second phase, Balla embraced the poetics of Futurism and addressed the themes of modernity in the chromatic synthesis of individual elements of light, visible in the Iridescent Interpenetrations. This was followed by exploration in the third phase of the new dynamic reality with his \u003cem\u003eLines of Speed\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a gradual progress towards pure mathematical, vertical, diagonal, and spiral signs, Balla discovered new categories of representation in its primary parameters, in the amplification of the physical phenomenon, isolated and dissected in its reality as vibratile matter. A vision that plumbed the greatest depths in order to transcend the limits of the frame in an ever-greater response to life, the ultimate signal of a universal force whose power reverberates in the \"voices of nature\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430787596524,"sku":"9788857233864","price":78.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857233864.jpg?v=1774558604"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/keiko-kawashima.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
