1885 -1941 · simultaneism, orphism and rounding power of color
Robert Delaunay was born in Paris in 1885. Trained in a theater set workshop rather than at the academy, he approached color very early on as a force for construction. His first views of Saint-Séverin and the Eiffel Tower fragment architecture in order to translate the transformations of light and the modern city. Around 1912, he crossed a decisive threshold with the Windows then the Circular Shapes. Color stands out from the object and organizes the space alone. Inspired by scientific research on simultaneous contrasts, Delaunay observed that a color changes intensity and depth depending on those around it. Guillaume Apollinaire uses the term orphism to designate this luminous, musical abstraction distinct from analytical cubism. In the Sun, Moon and Sun and Moon series from 1912 -1913, complementary rings and sectors give the disc a rotating power. Homage to Blériot associates this chromatic energy with the emblems of aviation, the propeller and the Eiffel Tower. With Sonia Delaunay, Robert extends simultaneism to clothing, books, decorations and objects, abolishing the border between painting and modern life. After the First World War, he gradually returned to large circular compositions. After the First World War, he gradually returned to large circular compositions.

Panels intended for international exhibitions and the Salon des Tuileries show that this abstraction can organize architectural space. Delaunay died in Montpellier in 1941. A faithful reproduction must preserve the intensity of the complements, the sharpness of the arcs, the exact succession of the rings and the sometimes offset centers which rotate the entire surface. The selection "Circles, discs and rhythms of Robert Delaunay" notably compares Simultaneous Disc - Robert Delaunay and Circular Shapes. Sun, Moon - Robert Delaunay. Its reading favors the atmosphere.
At Delaunay, the disc does not turn because it imitates a wheel: neighboring colors activate with each other and produce the movement themselves.

Modern architecture and fragmented light lead Delaunay from post-impressionism to a truly chromatic abstraction. This milestone illuminates the collection "Circles, records and rhythms by Robert Delaunay" by favoring atmosphere.
Sun, moon, disk and helix are reconstructed by simultaneous contrasts which make the color autonomous.
After the experiences shared with Sonia, the great compositions of the 1930s transformed arches and rings into monumental decorations.
Two juxtaposed colors mutually modify their brightness, temperature and depth. This line guides a reading of "Circles, discs and rhythms by Robert Delaunay" centered on the atmosphere.
The core of the disk moves to avoid static symmetry and drive the entire surface.
Interrupted sectors give the circle direction and rhythm rather than a closed outline.
In late works, a few large arches are enough to organize the wall and the movement of the viewer.
