Robert Delaunay

Robert Delaunay was a French painter who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay, developed Orphism, an abstract art of colour that grew out of Cubism. He painted a famous series of fragmented views of the Eiffel Tower and then turned to circular discs of contrasting colour. He worked closely with the Blaue Reiter group in Germany. Tate holds his Windows Open Simultaneously (First Part, Third Motif).
