Painted in 1913, Sonia Delaunay-Terk's "Electric Prisms" exemplifies Orphism through its use of colour and geometric shapes to convey movement and energy. The painting captures the dynamism of modern life through abstract forms.
Sonia Delaunay-Terk's "Electric Prisms", painted in 1913, is a key example of Orphism, an early abstract movement within Cubism. Delaunay-Terk, along with her husband Robert Delaunay, developed this style, which aimed to express movement and rhythm through colour. The term 'Orphism' was coined by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire in 1912, drawing a parallel between the abstract qualities of painting and music. Delaunay-Terk's work is characterised by its use of contrasting colours and geometric shapes to create a sense of dynamism and energy. "Electric Prisms" is composed of concentric circles and fragmented planes of colour. The arrangement suggests a sense of light and movement, evoking the sensation of electric light, a modern marvel at the time. The painting's title reflects the artists' interest in capturing the essence of modern life and technology through abstract forms. The composition is carefully balanced, with the circular forms creating a sense of harmony and rhythm. The painting's colour palette includes blues, greens, reds, and yellows, which are arranged to create a sense of visual excitement.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
