The Three Graces 1912

"The Three Graces" (1912) by Robert Delaunay is a Cubist painting that depicts three female figures, likely the three Graces from Greek mythology, in a stylized and fragmented manner. Delaunay, known for his vibrant colors and geometric compositions, utilized Cubist principles to break down the figures into geometric shapes and planes, resulting in a dynamic and abstract representation of the subject. The painting's bold colors and flat planes give it a sense of depth and movement, typical of Orphism, a style Delaunay helped to develop.
