Luigi Russolo artwork entitled Music.


The Italian futurist Luigi Russolo’s 1911 painting attempts to nail “the complex of musical emotion”, as he described it. The central shadowy figure is a spider pianist with five arms, suggesting speedy fingerwork. A backdrop of blue sky in rhythmic circles is cut by a whiplash of melody. The grinning carnival masks in red, green and yellow are, he stated, meant to represent “harmonic or complementary chords” - Skye Sherwin.
