“Cityscape”
by Tullio Crali, 1939
Via a reverse image search (thanks to a reader for suggesting), I figured out this image was originally posted as part of a piece called “20 Dynamic Paintings from the Italian Futurists.”
From the intro:
Italian writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti founded Futurism when he published his Futurist Manifesto in Parisian newspaper Le Figaro on 20th February 1909. Marinetti passionately laid out his ideas, which would form the central concepts of the movement. Futurism was a key artistic and social development in 20th Century art history, originating and most active within Italy, but also a movement whose ideas spread to Russia, England and beyond.
