Girl Running on a Balcony
''Girl Running on Balcony'' is a 1912 painting completed by Giacomo Balla, one of the forerunners of the Italian movement called Futurism. The piece indicates the artist's growing interests in creative nuances which would later formally be realized as part of the Futurist movement. The artist was influenced heavily by northern Italians' use of divisionism and the French's better known pointillism. Created with oil on canvas just on the brink of World War I, the Futurist movement is embodied by a dark optimism for a future of speed, turbulence, chaos, and new beginnings. Most of Giacaomo Balla’s pieces allude to the wonder of dynamic movement, and this painting is no exception. The oil painting is currently housed at the Museo del Novecento in Milan.
==Futurist Theory==
The early Futurist movement began with Filippo Marinetti’s “Futurist Manifesto” in 1909 and is followed up by Umberto Boccioni’s 1910 manifesto, “The City Rises.” The manifestos represent the Futurists’ statement of artistic purpose and defined the creative work of its founders and later followers. Balla, among other artists, signed his name at the bottom of the latter manifesto and would later go on to publish his own renditions of the Futurist mission. The Futurists lived in a time of fierce social and political change. The industrial world was unfolding as technology continued to advance. They were quite avant-garde and used materials indicative of a modern age, as exemplified in Boccioni’s bronze ''Unique Forms of Continuity in Space''. The Italian dictionary defines futurism as “wanting to make a clean slate of the past and traditional forms of expression to make way for the inquisition of dynamic modern life, a mechanical civilization projecting into the future in a riot of senses….”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/futurismo/ )〕 The movement is all about literal and figurative movement on both individual and larger, national scales. Physical movement often is used in Futurist art to represent machinery, which in turn represents technology and ultimately our progress and movement as a civilization into the future. The Futurists were a very extreme bunch; not one of them was over the age of thirty and they considered war the world’s own hygiene. They opposed ideas of morality and feminism, and saw great promise in speed. Their world was hurtling into the future, and there was time only to depict only the truly beautiful. In 1909, they wrote, “Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive character. Poetry must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man.” The Futuristic style borrows from other forward thinking movements: Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, Divisionism, Cubism and Pointillism.
