Umberto Boccioni “The City Rises” and my experience regarding this painting

It can represent a part of the today China, the fast growing and the implication surrounded of this issue. I saw this painting at MoMa of New York and was a media tic experience, like be in front of a friend of mine familiar to me known in life story, I'm feeling the intensity and power in the making of this painting like to be there in his studio look at him during the process of this creation, the dynamic energies, the intensity and colours, and a wave of emotions invades my mind and soul, leaves in me a blue print of genetic DNA of it. Make me realize how we human beings sometimes are the most beautiful mind ever.

"If in Cubism the spectator, by implication, moves around static objects, in a Futurist canvas like this the spectator remains static while moving objects rush across his field of vision" (Robert Rosenblum, "Cubism and Twentieth-Century Art")
