Balla, Giacomo (1871-1958), Italian painter, one of the principal members of the Italian Futurist movement (see Futurism). He began his career as a realist painter but became attracted to the Futurist style in 1910, when he signed the Technical Manifesto of Futuristic Painting. In works such as Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (Leash in Motion) (1912, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York State), Balla simultaneously tried to show movement and speed, which the Futurists considered the essence of modern civilization. Balla returned to representational painting in the 1930s.
