The artwork, titled “North,” created by Gino Severini, is part of the Futurism art movement and belongs to the cityscape genre.
In this dynamic representation, Severini employs fragmented and abstracted forms to depict an urban environment. The composition is characterized by a series of intersecting lines and shapes, creating a sense of movement and energy that is quintessential to the Futurism movement. Various elements like buildings and urban infrastructure are rendered in a cubist style, adding to the artwork’s complexity and modernist aesthetic. The use of muted colors with strategic areas of light and dark enhances the visual impact, conveying the bustling and intricate nature of city life.
