1885 -1941 · Paris, simultaneous color and Orphic abstraction
Towers, windows, discs and planes become architectures of light for Robert Delaunay that place color at the heart of modernity.
Robert Delaunay was born in Paris in 1885 and died in Montpellier in 1941. After an apprenticeship in a theater set workshop, he exhibited in 1904 at the Salon des Indépendants. Seurat, Van Gogh, the Fauves and Chevreul's theories on simultaneous contrasts quickly distanced him from naturalism. With Sonia Delaunay, met in 1907 and married in 1910, he made color an autonomous principle of construction.

The red Eiffel Tower fragments the emblem of Paris into inclined planes: the monument appears to rotate, grow and cross urban space.

The City of Paris fragments the emblem of Paris into inclined planes: the monument appears to rotate, grow and cross urban space. The City of Paris brings together figures, architecture and simultaneous views in a monumental composition. In 1912, the Windows marked a decisive passage towards abstraction; their transparent rectangles no longer describe just a landscape, but the very interactions of light. Guillaume Apollinaire soon describes this search as an orphism. Homage to Blériot combines solar disks, propeller and aerial movement to celebrate an era transformed by speed. During the First World War, Delaunay stayed with Sonia in Spain and Portugal. Back in Paris, he developed decorations, circular rhythms and monumental projects, culminating in the pavilions of the 1937 International Exhibition.

Back in Paris, he developed decorations, circular rhythms and monumental projects, culminating in the pavilions of the 1937 International Exhibition. His work remained figurative and abstract at the same time: tower, wheel, window or plane are less subjects than motors for organizing color in space. The "Robert Delaunay" selection notably compares the red Eiffel Tower and simultaneous windows n°2. Its reading favors details.
At Delaunay, color does not fill the form: it itself creates light, rhythm and modern space.
