About the piece
Painted in 1913, Robert Delaunay's work is a definitive example of Orphism, a movement that used geometric abstraction and pure color to evoke sensory experiences. The work captures the dynamism of the modern age by blending the ancient symbol of the sun with contemporary icons like the Eiffel Tower and the early aeroplane, rendered in a rhythmic, fractured style.
