1920, Stanton Macdonald-Wright, Aeroplane Synchromy in Yellow-Orange -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Macdonald-Wright developed Synchromism, a style with roots in French Cubism and Italian Futurism, which aspired to present industry as a whirling force of color and movement. Here, colored fragments and patterns recall a view of rooftops as if seen from an airplane. A turning propeller and a detail of the plane's engine complete this tribute to modern travel.
