A preparatory study by Robert Delaunay, this oil on canvas depicts an urban scene in a semi-abstract style, dominated by blues, greys, and greens. The visible brushwork adds movement and energy to the composition.
This oil on canvas is a preparatory study by Robert Delaunay (1885-1941), a French artist associated with Orphism, a branch of Cubism that emphasised abstraction and colour. Delaunay, along with his wife Sonia Delaunay, explored the possibilities of colour and form to create dynamic and harmonious compositions. This study depicts an urban scene, likely of Paris, with buildings rendered in a semi-abstract style. The colour palette is dominated by blues, greys, and greens, creating a cool and atmospheric effect. The brushwork is visible, adding a sense of movement and energy to the composition. The buildings are simplified into geometric shapes, reflecting the influence of Cubism, but the overall impression is one of light and air. The composition is structured around the interplay of light and shadow, with the buildings casting long shadows across the scene. This work captures Delaunay's interest in modern life and his exploration of colour and form as a means of expressing the dynamism of the urban environment.

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.
