The theory and works of the Futurists are characterized by fascination with movement, the dynamism of things and the surrounding reality. Futurists’ interest in the notion of energy gave a privileged place in their works to visual rhythm. Rhythmic repetition of dissected forms not only allowed to suggest the motion of represented objects, but the abstracted, repetitive patterns created a rhythmic pulsation directly perceived by the viewer. The rhythm of the painting, created by rhythmic vibration and pulsation of shapes and colors, was to give intimation of the universal vibration and interpenetration of matter.
