ROBERT DELAUNAY 1885-1941

Robert Delaunay (1885–1941) was a French painter and a major figure of the Orphism movement, a branch of abstract art. Through his exploration of color and light, he aimed to express dynamism and movement in his works. He is best known for his vibrant compositions that merge geometric forms and light effects, particularly in his famous series on Paris and the Eiffel Tower.

Moving away from traditional figuration, Delaunay explored the relationship between color and form, attempting to capture the energy and visual perception of the modern world. His collaboration with his wife, Sonia Delaunay, was also pivotal in the development of Orphism, which influenced many artists of the 20th century. His work remains a key reference in abstract art and modern art.
