His paintings evoke a sense of movement with its use of contrasting colours, lines, and shapes. He was a leader, alongside his wife Sonia, of the Orphic Cubism art movement which was originally named as such by a critic in reference to the mythical Greek musician and poet Orpheus\u2014to emphasize the lyricism and musicality in Delaunay&#8217;s works. He exhibited at the Salon des Ind\u00e9pendants in 1904 in his late teens and it solidified his position amongst the avant-garde artists in France early on. We was also invited to exhibit at first Der Blaue Reiter exhibition in 1911 by Wassily Kadinsky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"879\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.10.28-PM-879x1024.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"269\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.10.28-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/?attachment_id=269\" class=\"wp-image-269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.10.28-PM-879x1024.png 879w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.10.28-PM-258x300.png 258w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.10.28-PM-768x894.png 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.10.28-PM-1200x1397.png 1200w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.10.28-PM.png 1290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Simultaneous Windows on the City (1912)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.12.57-PM-1024x706.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"270\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.12.57-PM.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/?attachment_id=270\" class=\"wp-image-270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.12.57-PM-1024x706.png 1024w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.12.57-PM-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.12.57-PM-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.12.57-PM-1200x827.png 1200w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.12.57-PM.png 1306w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">La Ville de Paris (1911)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the outbreak of WWI, he and his wife fled to Spain and later Portugal, where the warm, clear light of northern Portugal would be a source of colour inspiration for them both (as seen in his <em>Portuguese Woman<\/em> painting). In contrast to the two paintings above created in Paris, there is a clear shift in colour to a much brighter palette. It&#8217;s fascinating to see how a change in scenery can impact an artist&#8217;s work and continue on to influence their work as they adopt it as a part of their new style. The Eiffel Tower shown below was painted n Paris post-Portugal and yet it retains the luminosity of the palette he used from those days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"910\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.14.41-PM-1024x910.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.14.41-PM-1024x910.png 1024w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.14.41-PM-300x267.png 300w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.14.41-PM-768x683.png 768w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.14.41-PM-1200x1067.png 1200w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/tiffanyzhong\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11628\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-3.14.41-PM.png 1496w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Portuguese Woman (The Large Portuguese) (1916)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Delaunay&#8217;s notable series include his Windows, Eiffel Towers, Circular Forms, and Rhythms.
