• Didascalia: 122. Noise Forms of a Motorcycle. (1916). Oil on paper, 27 1/4 x 39 3/8 inches. Collection Raimondo Bariatti, Milan. Painted after a ride in the sidecar of a friend´s motorcycle, this is Balla´s visual perception of his new experience. The angular forms and zigzags represent strident sound waves produced by the speeding motorcycle, while the smooth intertwined spiral stands for the "line of speed". Curved forms on the lower left represent the sidecar. The spinning rear wheel, the motorcycle chain and part of a fender are distinguishable. Large angular volumes represent backfire
