Orphism

Orphism is an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily associated with painting. It focuses on using vibrant color and abstract forms to express emotion and rhythm, often inspired by music. Orphism emphasizes the importance of color as a fundamental element of art, suggesting that colors can evoke feelings and sensations. It is closely linked to Cubism but distinguishes itself by prioritizing the beauty of color and light over form. This movement contributes to the evolution of modern art, influencing future styles and encouraging artists to explore the psychological effects of color.
