Before cameras, and even after, there was paint.
Jumping Dog Schlick (1908), by Franz Marc, a German Expressionist painter. Schlick is jumping for the joy of movement and smiling while he’s doing it.
Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (1912), by Giacomo Balla, a Futurist. This dachshund is Going Places, as is its owner, and getting there by the shortest route. Interesting to see how the two styles express themselves in their subjects.
There’s so much ‘movement’ in these pictures! Lovely 😀
Reblogged this on Strawberry's Zoo (for you too!).
Thank you!
