1926. Ballad gave it to his friend, painter Sante Monachesi, in 1926. "Who could still believe in the opacity of the body, while our sharpened and augmented sensibility makes us feel the dark manifestations of medial phenomena? "This is how Balla expressed himself in 1910 when signing the Manifesto of Futurist painting. During the following years, Balla became increasingly interested in theosophical thinking and strongly attracted by psychological phenomena. Between 1916 and 1917 the pictorial cycle, Trasformazione Forme Spiriti, took shape, and in 1925 the artist painted the large-format composition, Ispirazione del Poeta. (Compare: M. Drudi Gambillo / T. Fiori, Archivi del Futurismo, Rome 1962, no. 382; G. Lista, Balla, Modena 1982, no. 905).
