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 key influence related to the bold use of colour and a clear love of experimentation with both depth and tone.

Champs de Mars, the Red Tower by Robert Delaunay (1911) is currently displayed at Art Institute of Chicago.
