Champs de Mars, the Red Tower

Robert Delaunay was a French artist of the School of Paris movement who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract. His work includes the bold use of color, and shows his clear love of experimentation with both depth and tone.

Champs de Mars: The Red Tower is an oil on canvas painting by the French painter Robert Delaunay, from 1911. It shows an orphic representation of the Eiffel Tower, in Paris. The painting is held in the Art Institute of Chicago.
