Luigi Russolo - The Revolt (1911)

This work reminds me of some of the things I did for the summer project and also in the recent fine art sketch exercises in the last week. The colours are very vibrant, however, which resonates the idea of revolt, or revolution, upheaval. It is aggressive, even violent. With what appear to be shapes of buildings surrounding it, the combination conjures impressions of a city on fire.
