Robert Delaunay
French, 1885–1941
Robert Delaunay was a French Romanticism painter. 35 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art, most of them gouaches. Robert Delaunay was born in Paris.
Robert Delaunay was a French artist of the School of Paris movement; who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract. His key influence related to the bold use of colour and a clear love of experimentation with both depth and tone.
