Description:
|
After early training carried out alongside Boccioni and the Divisionist painters who worked around Giacomo Balla in Rome, Severini left for Paris in 1906 and joined the Futurist movement in 1910. While still adhering to the ideas of the Futurists, Severini developed a very personal technique. Le Nord-Sud illustrates this well; the work uses a typically futuristic form of the "simultaneous view", which compresses chronologically successive images into the pictorial space (the signs of the stations, the passengers) and depicts a subway car moving at the Pigalle station in a north-south direction.
