The artwork, titled “Five o’clock tea,” was created by Julius Evola in 1917. This piece belongs to the Futurism art movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork displays a dynamic and chaotic array of shapes and colors, characteristic of the Futurist style. Swirling forms dominate the canvas, interspersed with bright yellows and muted pastels, creating a dream-like, frenetic atmosphere. The composition suggests movement and energy, with overlapping elements that may evoke teacups and saucers, an imaginative interpretation of a traditional tea setting. The abstraction is intensified by the fragmented depiction of reality, indicative of a break from conventional forms and a celebration of modernity and dynamism.
