His Most Famous Painting (Eiffel Tower Series) – Robert Delaunay

by | Cubism

French painter Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) was a highly dynamic artist in the twentieth century. His art style constantly shifted within the triangular creative zone formed by ‘Orphism,’ ‘Abstraction,’ and ‘Cubism.’ Robert’s ‘The Eiffel Tower Series’ comprised some of the most influential works of his life. The Tower, the symbol of urbanization, always fascinated Delaunay. As a radio tower, it represented boundless communication, and its unique construction was emblematic of the growing machine age. Robert created around 25 works (drawings, window paintings, and oil paintings) using the Eiffel Tower as the subject during his self-termed ‘destructive stage.’ All these paintings depict the tower surrounded by tall buildings, from various angles and perspectives.

Synthetic Cubism is more decorative and experimental in nature than Analytic Cubism.

In this painting, the flat planes and lack of shading techniques typically used to suggest depth and realistic space foreshadow the artist’s later venture into collage, which represents the pinnacle or most extreme permutation of Synthetic Cubism.

Concerning the subject matter, Picasso’s Three Musicians recalls a somewhat idealized bygone era of bohemian life. Here, Picasso, in the guise of the central figure of the Harlequin, is flanked by his recently deceased friend Guillaume Apollinaire and longtime companion Max Jacob.

It is important to note that the Harlequin is a recurring stand-in for the artist himself. A stock character from the traveling Italian comedic troupe known as the Commedia dell’Arte, the Harlequin carried lower-class connotations and was highly emblematic of the outsider …
