Futorismo 1927

Gustave Buchet made "Futorismo" with oil paint, at an unknown date. I like to think about what it was like for Buchet to create this painting—how does it start? Maybe with a single, tentative line, or a bold, confident stroke of color, shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition? I think it would be really interesting to see that first step. The paint is smooth, but it's how he uses it that's cool. These lines are not just lines—they're attempts at something, maybe movement, maybe speed. But how do you paint speed? The piece reminds me a bit of Leger's work, you can tell Buchet is not afraid to play with hard edges and geometries. There's a whole world of painters talking to each other, across time, maybe without even knowing it. Anyway, painting embraces ambiguity and uncertainty, allowing for multiple interpretations and meanings over fixed readings.
