Futurism and Photography

Artists in the Futurist movement were fascinated by the expression of concepts such as continuous movement, simultaneity, speed and energy. They also attempted to express motion, energy, and cinematic sequence in their work, such as in Giacomo Balla's painting titled Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (Meggs 255).

Giacomo Balla's Dynamism of a Dog
on a Leash was painted in 1912.

The year 1912 is also around the same time Francis Bruguiere began experimenting with multiple exposures in photography. Advances in photography provided another way for artists to capture or represent dynamic movement in space through a two-dimensional medium.
