One must take care, too, not to be inhibited by them. --Robert Delaunay I say it is indispensable to look ahead of and behind oneself in the present. If there is such a thing as tradition, and I believe there is, it can only exist in the sense of the most profound movements of culture. -- Robert Delaunay Human vision is
endowed with the greatest Reality,
since it comes to us directly from the contemplation of the Universe.
--Robert Delaunay
For me, every man distinguishes
himself by his essence his personal movement, as opposed to that which
is universal. Description of Robert Delaunay's Style The prevailing characteristic of Robert Delaunay's work is vivid colors, circular compositions and lyrical movement. His colors were the most spectacular of any painter of his generation. During his early cubist period he favored a pallet of brilliant orange, greens and reds. As he matured he gravitated towards pure abstraction and a cooler palette. He avoided redundant detail, instead using dazzling color and strong lines to produce works of genius. He felt the composition of colors was as essential as a painting's subject matter in communicating meaning. Robert Delaunay's work is high-keyed, exploratory and intense. He explored in his art a new world of passion and vibrancy, but with a expressiveness and profound understanding of color
