Explore the Description of this artwork.
The painting evokes the sensation of the passing of an automobile, with crisscrossing lines representing sound. It may be the second in a triptych narrating the passage of a racing car through a landscape, beginning with Abstract Speed (Velocità + paesaggio) (1913) and ending with Abstract Speed – The Car Has Passed (1913). The three paintings share indications of a single landscape, and each painting is continued onto its frame.
