1911, Gino Severini, The Milliner -- Philadelphia Museum of Art

From the museum label: The Italian Futurists exploded onto the European modern art scene in 1909. Severini, one of the group’s leading members, lived in Paris and served as a link to the Cubist circle. This composition addresses a key goal of Futurist painting—the depiction of dynamic sensations in time and space—by dispersing the young hat maker (or milliner), the table with hats and millinery paraphernalia, and the mirror-like background in a mosaic of dynamic colors.
