This oil on canvas from 1933, belonging to the private collection of the Marinetti family until the acquisition of the work by the Cirulli Foundation, celebrates the myth of flight, surrounded by an aura of invincibility, also thanks to the feats of important Italian aviators. , from Balbo to De Pinedo, who reaped record after record in the 1920s: that of speed, that of height, that of distance. It is in this climate that the second generation of Futurists grows, born under the banner of "liberation from the earth". These artists often found themselves flying, “spiraling” over cities and in their art they recreate and reshape their new, grandiose and dynamic view of the world.

In the advertising poster created for Martini in 1921, Giorgio Muggiani represents an androgynous human figure, immersed in a rain of light with a purely liberty flavor. Muggiani also adheres to the lesson of Lenetto Cappiello with which the modern poster was born, characterized by a memorability of the image and its communicative power, by a direct style, based on solid backgrounds, timbral colors, chromatic synthesis, foreground and centered figures in the space.

Although futurist artists ardently celebrated the world of artificial and industrial energies, they do not disdain the representation of meteorological phenomena and forms of energy unleashed by nature. Luigi Russolo's pre-futurist canvas denotes this interest: the glare of a lightning bolt pierces the nocturnal landscape and illuminates a colossal figure of a mythological nature, intent on unleashing the lightning with a hieratic gesture.

In this work Thayaht resists the celebration of industrial technology typical of the thematic current of Futurism of the 1930s, often a harbinger of pictorial technologies such as a curious view of pilots swooping over the roofs of the city. Contrary to these approaches, the artist paints an overlapping of dark clouds with an almost romantic flavor, indicative of a perturbed and perturbing atmosphere. The combination of colors, the massive presence of clouds in the foreground and the small sky-blue background window in the center of the table combine to establish a minimum sense of perspective and the idea that the pilot-spectator is piercing the clouds aboard his own aircraft. .
