Robert Delaunay

About the Artist

Robert Delaunay was a French painter born in Paris in 1885 and died in 1941. A leading figure of Simultanism (Orphism), he developed a distinctive style emphasizing the harmony of color and form. Delaunay was influenced by Fauvism and Cubism but developed them further through his own color-centered approach. He is regarded as a pioneering figure who opened the path toward abstraction, focusing on the rhythm of color and abstract composition. One of his signature works, 'Eiffel Tower,' is an early piece that shows the harmony of color and form with great skill.
