Italian Gino Severini was influenced by Georges Seurat as a young artist and worked with Futurists Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni in Rome before settling in Paris in 1906. More than the other Futurists, Severini was influenced by the spatial experiments of French Cubism. His style combined Cubism with the interest in capturing motion and dynamism of the Futurists and the style of this work has sometimes been called ìCubo-Futurist.î This drawing is one of several works he made on Paris transportation themes, focusing especially on the Paris Metro.†
