Aeropittura

Refers to the style and movement in Italy during the 1930s and early 1940s promulgated in the Manifesto dell' Aeropittura (1929) by artists such as Giacomo Balla, Gerardo Dottori, and Tato, and which emanated from a second wave of Futurism. The movement, more fascinated with the dynamics of motion, engaged in naturalistic representations of landscapes as seen from extreme angles of perspective and motion, abstract depictions of circles, spirals, and intersecting shapes symbolizing motion, and manipulated media and artistic forms to create analogies for movement as evidenced by the turbulent plunge to the earth represented by rotating circular forms.
