Executive templates for the shawl of Mrs. Florio, 1925

In 1925, Mrs. Franca Florio requested a shawl from Balla featuring an owl as the central motif. Balla designed the shawl by alternating a naturalistic-synthetic representation with an abstract form, transforming the space around the owl into a modulation of dynamic surfaces.
