Lancers 1915

"Lancers," painted in 1915 by Italian artist Gino Severini, is a prime example of the Futurist style. It is a dynamic composition with fragmented forms, sharp angles and bold colors, depicting charging horsemen in a swirling landscape. The Cubist influence can be seen in the geometric shapes and multiple perspectives. The subject matter and overall theme are inspired by the movement's focus on speed, technology and the dynamism of modern life. This painting exemplifies Severini's dedication to the Futurist principles and his individual artistic vision.
