 In 1913, Survage produced abstract compositions using color and movement to evoke a type of musical sensation.Entitled "Rythmes colorés", he planned to animate these illustrations by means of film to form "symphonies en couleur".He saw these abstract images as flowing together, but he exhibited the ink wash drawings separately at the Salon d'Automne in 1913 and Salon des Indépendants in 1914.
