“September 20 demonstration” is an oil painting on canvas created by the Italian artist Giacomo Balla in 1915. The work belongs to the Futurism art movement and is characterized by its abstract genre. The artwork measures 75 by 100 centimeters and is a vivid representation of abstract forms and energetic compositions consistent with Futurism’s emphasis on dynamism and modernity.
The artwork features a complex interplay of colors and shapes, with bold areas of red, green, blue, and black swirling around one another in a harmonious yet dynamic fashion. The composition is characterized by sharp, angular forms and fluid movement, evoking a sense of motion and energy. The use of contrasting colors and geometric shapes is skillful, contributing to the overall sense of vibrancy and depth. The abstract nature of the painting draws the viewer into a visual exploration of form, color, and movement, typical of Balla’s style and the broader Futurist ethos.
