the eiffel tower iii robert delaunayRobert Delaunay's series of paintings The Eiffel Tower explores the orphic representation of the iconic Parisian monument. Each work in this series depicts the Tower from different angles and perspectives, using a varied and contrasting colour palette that conveys a sense of dynamism and energy. In these paintings, Delaunay fragments the structure of the Eiffel Tower into a series of lines, circles and geometric shapes. He plays with bright colours

The painting presents an abstract composition

this painting exudes a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere

rather than on the details

this expressionnist self-portrait of Egon Schiele focuses on his head and hands

creating rectangles and squares of different sizes

The geometric lines and shapes of the sailboat and the silhouettes of the figures reinforce the sense of movement and precarious balance

while emphasising the beauty and peacefulness of this idyllic place

her body merging with the floral and geometric ornaments that surround her

all as varied in their themes as in the techniques employed

giving life to dynamic and modern cityscapes

The style of this work is new: frank and dense colors

the artist brings objects to the surface
