Round forms

author

Robert Delaunay

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Museum of Solomon R. Guggenheim, New York, USA.

The dynamic power of color is a feature that the artist discovered for himself. Bright circles and details of objects are placed next to the dark ones. Delaunay used contrasting colors to create an optical illusion of movement. When you stare at the painting during a minute, it seems that the multi-colored discs rotate continuously.
