Eiffel Tower 1914

Here's Delaunay’s ‘Eiffel Tower’, painted with oil on canvas, and pulsating with warm reds and cool blues. I can imagine him standing there, brush in hand, wrestling with the sheer scale of the tower, trying to capture its essence in fractured forms. Those sharp, angular shapes—they're like echoes of Cubism, but warmer, more inviting. He's not just showing us the tower; he's giving us the feeling of Paris, the energy of a city on the rise. Look at how the red slices through the canvas, assertive, confident. It reminds me of Léger, but with a touch of Fauvist joy. Painting is like having a conversation with other artists across time, and Delaunay's definitely in the mix. He is speaking, thinking, feeling, experimenting, leaving us with something that feels both solid and fleeting, permanent and evolving, like the Eiffel Tower itself.
