Ritmi astrali — Fine Art

Ritmi astrali - 1916 by Gerardo Dottori belongs to the Futurist period, when painters tried to show movement and sound through repeated forms. The title points to rhythmic shapes and a bright sky.

Dottori often worked with bold flat colour and sharp edges in that Italian avant-garde movement. This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel, and the matte surface keeps the colours steady without shine.

You see the same tones on the paper as in the original painting. Hang it in a bedroom on a pale wall, and the repeated marks read as a quiet pattern before you get close enough to notice each one.
