Orphism (art movement)

Orphism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily associated with the works of artists like Robert Delaunay. It emphasizes the use of vivid colors and abstract forms, focusing on the exploration of light and movement. Orphism seeks to convey emotional experiences through dynamic compositions rather than realistic representations. The term itself comes from the idea of "orchestration," akin to music, where color and rhythm create a harmonious visual experience. This movement is considered a precursor to later abstract art and highlights the connection between visual art and other artistic disciplines.
