Robert Delaunay: Cathédrale de Laon

“Reflecting the peak of Synthetic Cubism at that time, the city appears deconstructed into geometric planes, shifting between two and three dimensions…The composition unfolds across multiple planes, which themselves subdivide further: the shape of the canvas—like a window onto the landscape—mirrors the shape of the building windows, which in turn repeat the city’s architectural forms…Here,…

Frantisek Kupka: La cathédrale

“On his return from the war – where he fought for France at the Somme and then, after injury, organized the Czechoslovakian anti-German resistance in Paris – Kupka immersed himself back in his research.

Sonia Delaunay: Prismes électriques

“Interpreted as an ode to modernity, Prismes Electriques was inspired by a walk down the Boulevard Saint- Michel in Paris, when Sonia Delaunay and her artist husband Robert came upon newly installed electric lamplights.

Robert Delaunay: Woman with a Parasol

“From 1912 onwards, the followers of the Cubist movement gradually evolved from their monochrome beginnings towards a more colourful mode. Robert Delaunay was one of the first to react against the chromatic monotony of analytical Cubism and to advocate “pure painting” and the importance of colour in painterly practice. The French painter, who left many…

Trio Medici: Notturno D897 (Schubert)

Kupka’s driving passion was to investigate the phenomena of vision…Kupka’s experiments in the field of perception centered around how a fleeting image could nevertheless create a sense of emotion within the consciousness:“The vertical is the solemn spinal column of life, the central axis of all constructions. Have you ever experienced the sensation of a vertical…

Sonia Delaunay: Nature morte portugaise (1916)

“A joyful testament to Sonia Delaunay’s fruitful and happy years on the Iberian peninsula, Nature morte portugaise is a powerful expression of colour, movement and light that immerses the viewer in the raucous, sensual atmosphere of the sun-drenched Portuguese marketplace. Painted in the challenging new medium of wax, this work is a superb example of the…

Sonia Delaunay: Marché au Minho, Portugal

“In Marché au Minho, the artist places the beautiful young woman as the central figure within the composition, within her domain of the market. Colourful fabrics, fruits, vegetables and ceramics surround her in bright, primary hues formed of abstract coloured spheres, generating movement and depth and enhancing the dynamic arrangement of colour. The overall tone…

After spending some time in Madrid, they lived from June 1915 to March 1916 in the Portuguese village of Vila do Conde, near Oporto. Both painters were fascinated by the warm, clear light of northern…

Sonia Delaunay: Portugaise assise (1915-16)

“The artist’s main purpose in Portugaise assise is not simply to represent a local woman, at her work, but to study light – the particularly warm and clear light of northern Portugal, which Delaunay has divided and recomposed into a riotous cacophony of colour and movement that immerses the viewer in the raucous, sensual atmosphere…
