Note du spécialiste

Giacomo Balla painted Fiori + Spazio on the reverse of a photograph of a relief titled 'Processione in onore di Iside', from the Vatican Museums. During the war, when materials were not readily available, Balla was creative with what he could use in order to be able to continue painting.
