Illusion of four dimensions (A)

5 Movement
 

The element of "movement" is especially enhanced in this dynamic generation as described in the remark of Moholy-Nagi and Kepes who recognized the importance of the Italian futurism and dynamic sight. Therefore, let's try to examine methods for modeling to express "movement" on a plane screen from various angles.

The word, "mouvement" is a French word which means movement. This word means to draw an object with dynamic and unfixed feelings and to vividly impress viewers. It is mainly expressed using poses and drawing techniques (speed and shape of a brush, and so on). Let's consider how we can express it using pure configurations which do not have concrete meanings. The modeling principle to compose movement on a plane screen will be well understood by investigating this.
