dianamismo: Giacomo Balla, Mercury Passing Before the Sun, 1914.
“The eclipse takes place in the upper center of the painting, with a small circle, Mercury, encroaching on a large circle, the Sun. The dazzle of white triangles nearby can be explained as the impact on the naked eye as Balla looked away from his lens. The green cone may also refer to a specific retinal color effect experienced by Balla as he peered down his telescope.”
