Explore the dynamic and colorful universe of Robert Delaunay, one of the pioneers of abstraction and the Orphism movement. His work, marked by the bold use of color and light, transforms shapes and colors into vibrant elements of a new reality.
Born in 1885 in Paris, Robert Delaunay is one of the most influential artists of the early 20th century. He is part of the lineage of Impressionism and Fauvism, before turning towards abstraction.
