‘I made large ovoid slashes on the clean canvases, sometimes only one, as large as the whole picture. After this act of liberation I was puzzled as to how I should proceed. The “how” I solved by turning to Futurism... The wonderful Futurist teaching (who knows why it was forgotten?) was the most vital and real that one could find... Behind the great holes I saw a wall full of light and shadows that vibrated and shifted. That was what I had to seek out and pursue. Until then art had been a static affair, apart from a few pioneers, we had to make it become dynamic again, using instruments derived from the latest technical-scientific developments, once it had been established that art can be made with any means.’
