Robert Delaunay
Robert Delaunay (1885–1941) was a French painter known for his pioneering role in the development of abstract art and Orphism, a movement that explored the use of vibrant colours and geometric forms to express musical rhythms and sensations. Born in Paris, Delaunay initially studied art in his native city before moving to Germany, where he encountered the work of the Expressionists and the Cubists. He was particularly influenced by the Cubist concept of breaking down forms into geometric shapes and planes. Delaunay's work often focused on themes of light, movement, and colour, and he developed a distinctive style characterized by bold use of colour and dynamic compositions. He is best known for his "Simultaneous Contrasts" series, which explored the effects of colour juxtapositions on the viewer's perception.
