He was the older man in the room, the one Boccioni and Severini had already studied under before any of them signed a thing, so the movement learned some of its craft from him. Where the others chased violence, Balla chased pure motion and got playful with it, fanning a trotting dog into a blur of legs. He shows the gentler, wittier edge of an art that mostly wanted to shout.
