Giacomo Balla is an Italian painter (Turin, July 18th 1871 - Rome, March 1st 1958). In 1909, it adheres to the futuristic movement Italian created by the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.

Quotation

“Us them futuristic, we want to release our race of any neutralism, frightened indecision and quietist, nihilist pessimism and inertia nostalgic, romantic and softening. We want to color Italy of audacity and futuristic risks, to finally give to the Italians quarrelsome and merry clothing.” ( futuristic Proclamation of clothing antineutralist , 1914)
