La Patineuse (The skater)
1913
Imagine the dizzying rush of a 1913 ice rink, captured not as a photo, but as a burst of pure energy. Félix Del Marle’s *La Patineuse* fractures the scene into jagged shards and sweeping beams of light—likely from electric lamps—to convey the sheer speed of the skater. It feels like the artist was spinning around while drawing! This work sits at the exciting intersection of Cubism and Futurism, showing how modern artists were obsessed with capturing the 'new' experience of speed and technology.
