Seeking to revitalize painting, Futurist Anton Giulio Bragaglia worked with his brother Arturo Bragaglia, an accomplished photographer, to develop a method of capturing movement they called photodynamism.
To express this new sense of reality, the Bragaglia brothers, Anton Giulio and Arturo, invented photographs that would convey the passage of time in the photograph’s single moment.
Shortly after this photograph was made, Anton Bragaglia shifted from photography to film. In 1918, he opened a gallery called Casa d’arte Bragaglia in Rome, where he showed the work of many artists, including his brother Arturo who in the early 1920’s renewed research in photodynamics.
