Designed like a military map, the letter forms M and S dominate this composition. M refers to the word “Marne” (location of the battle) and portrays the outline of mountains. The S renders the curves of the Seine River surrounding Paris and evokes the spirals of the reversals in military strategy. Smaller surrounding text recalls the sounds and formations of a military battle.
(Filippo Tommaso Marinetti)
