Window 1912

"Window" by Robert Delaunay, created in 1912, is a prime example of Orphism, a style of abstract art that emerged from Cubism. The work, characterized by vibrant geometric shapes and bold colors, evokes the dynamism of modern urban life. Delaunay's use of pure, saturated colors, often layered and overlapping, creates a sense of depth and movement, while the geometric forms suggest the fragmented nature of cityscapes. The artist's use of color, particularly in its pure, vibrant form, was central to Orphism, which sought to express the emotional and sensory qualities of light and color.
