Simultaneous Contrasts: Sun and Moon is a 1913 oil by Robert Delaunay, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a circular abstract piece, dominated by a blue background. The blue is broken up by various shapes and colors, including red, yellow, green, and purple. Some of these shapes are outlined in red, while others are filled with solid colors. One interesting detail is the use of circles and ovals to create a sense of movement and energy. The colors are bold and vibrant, and the overall effect is one of dynamic tension. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the work of Robert Delaunay.
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.
