| 'Swifts: Paths of Movement + Dynamic Sequences' 1913 -- oil on canvas |
Balla spent most of his career studying the dynamics of movement and speed. The main subject of this painting is the flight of swifts; black wings whir before a window. He was inspired by photographic studies of animal locomotion. Balla created an image of motion pushed close to abstraction. The wings each represent a different position in a creation of motion, and the bird’s body is rendered in a line. Balla seems to science and establishes a new modern language for painting.
