'''Robert Delaunay''' (b. París, 1885 - d. Montpellier, 1947) was a French [[painter]]. In 1912, he painted his first [[abstract]] works, his first "Disc" and "Circular Forms". That year was a turning point for Delaunay, commonly labeled a [[Cubism|Cubist]]; The poet and Art Critic [[Guillaume Apollinaire]] praised his works of the exhibition at the Galerie Barbazanges and proclaimed Delaunay as “an artist who has a monumental vision of the world.” ''With his embrace of color contrasts and abstraction, Robert Delaunay pioneered the transition from Cubism to [[Lyrical Abstraction]] along with his wife Sonia Delaunay and Frantisek Kupka. Guillaume Apollinaire coined their new style Orphism... Taking the fragmented Cubist forms as his starting point, Delaunay imbued his work with [[Fauvism|Fauvist]] and [[Neo-Impressionism|Neo-Impressionist]]-inspired color to create a sense of dynamism that appealed to the senses.'' <ref> [https://artsy.net/artist/robert-delaunay About Robert Delaunay.] </ref>
