Self-portrait

author

Robert Delaunay

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Museum of Contemporary Art, Paris, France.

The picture differs in gloomy tones. Delaunay created this canvas in the period when he was interested in Cubism. However, the master called himself “the heretic of cubism” and said that his works rather resembled “prisms” in comparison with the paintings of his colleagues.
