A visionary French painter and one of the pioneers of abstract art, Robert Delaunay is best known for his vibrant explorations of color and light. Alongside his wife Sonia Delaunay, he developed Orphism — a movement that emphasized lyrical abstraction through rhythmic color harmonies and dynamic shapes. Drawing inspiration from modern life, architecture, and the energy of the city, Delaunay’s paintings, such as his famous Eiffel Tower series, celebrate motion, modernity, and the pure expressive power of color.
