Luigi Russolo was far ahead of his time. Almost revolutionary, the artist turned the world of painting on its head with his pictures. The Italian painter was born on 30 April 1885 in Portogruaro, Veneto. The exceptional talent initially dedicated himself to painting. At the Accademia di Brera art academy in Milan, he acquired all the skills he needed to create impressive works of art. Alongside his studies, Russolo was also interested in sound works. He had long been fascinated by the urban noises of 20th century civilisation. By joining a group of young painters who wanted to develop a new way of creating art, Russolo felt truly inspired. During his artistic career, the free spirit devoted himself to Futurism. Russolo turned his back on traditional habits and allowed himself to be carried away by modern speed. He built the first sound machine (intonarumori), which was used in futuristic concerts and in silent film soundtracks in the 1920s.rnbr/br/rnBut it was not only musically that Luigi Russolo was at the centre of Futurism. All of his painterly works also revealed a cool and symbolist style. Russolo was able to identify perfectly with this new movement. The art form helped the pioneer of modernism to escape from reality. He had finally found a way to express his own ideologies and feelings in a very personal way. With his dreamlike and highly symbolic images, Russolo sought to stimulate reflection. The creator tried to portray the actual message of the work through unusual or confusing contexts.rnbr/br/rnThe impression 'The Dynamics of a Car' attracted a lot of attention. The motif, which is shown as a fan of wedge-shaped angular structures with glowing red edges, reflects a racing car that, seen from above, is hurtling to the left at breakneck speed. Acoustic vibrations represent a deliberate deformation of the object and the surrounding space. Russolo also presents a frenzy of colour in the painting 'Scent'. The picture detail reveals the head of a person who unconditionally engages with the rhythms and movements around him. The forces acting on the being are naturally interwoven with the space. In his earlier works, the Italian painter focussed on landscapes. He preferred to bathe them in dramatic light. The work 'Self-Portrait with Skulls' also arouses fascination. The portrait depicts the artist plagued by inner turmoil. He turns his emotional world outwards, which is an expression of a feeling of unreality, powerlessness, fear of losing control or even fear of death. Throughout his creative phase, Russolo remained faithful to the avant-garde art movement. He took great pleasure in frowning upon old ideals of beauty and instead strengthening the awareness of speed and dynamism.
