Their visual poem was suited to capturing the experience of the modern battlefield, with its chaotic emotions and man-made sounds.Although Marinetti’s “Tumultuous Assembly,” at right, seems an abstract composition of numbers, words, and shapes, some elements suggest a celebration after World War I. In the upper right is the year 1918, and a small drummer marches on the lower left. The sheets of numbers evoke gathered crowds, or the dead and missing, the latter suggested by the black clocklike shapes."
