Around 1912 -1930s · Discs, simultaneity and rhythm of color
Orphism transforms color into autonomous energy: circles, contrasts and rotations give the painting a temporality close to music.
The term Orphism was proposed by Guillaume Apollinaire around 1912 to designate a painting resulting from Cubism but oriented towards light, pure color and lyrical abstraction. Robert and Sonia Delaunay develop simultaneity: juxtaposed chromatic contrasts produce movement and intensity without traditional modeling. Discs, windows and circular shapes become structures capable of evoking sun, city, dance or rhythm. In the United States, Morgan Russell and Stanton Macdonald-Wright develop synchronism, a related approach which organizes color according to musical analogies. Patrick Henry Bruce, for his part, constructs more measured compositions made of colorful volumes and precise balances. The collection thus compares neighboring currents without confusing them. Everyone shares the conviction that color can carry the structure and movement of the work. The "Orphism and chromatic abstraction" selection notably compares Cosmic Synchromy and Composition III. Its reading favors the material.
In chromatic abstraction, color no longer fills an already drawn form: it itself becomes form, interval and movement.
