...concrete cliffs, with glass elevators zipping up the exterior walls. Its painting would try to encompass not just sight but noise, heat and smell; above all, it would depict movement. To fix this industrial mode in Italian (and European) culture, the pastoral mode had to be slaughtered. "Kill the moonlight!" one futurist manifesto exclaimed.

Its target is specificity, the peculiar qualities of fluorescent light (no less difficult to convey than those of sunlight or moonlight), the lush mortuary blue of the shadows, the buzzing glitter of the whites.
