What is "Orphism"?
Orphism was an art movement that began in the early 20th century, focusing on the use of color and light in abstract art. Developed by artists like Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Orphism is known for its emphasis on the rhythmic interaction of vibrant colors and geometric shapes, which aimed to convey a sense of movement and energy. The term "Orphism" comes from "Orpheus," a figure from Greek mythology known for his musical talent, representing the movement's goal to create art that felt musical and pleasing. Orphism aimed to explore how colors and forms could cause emotions and experiences, prioritizing visual impressions and the interaction of colors over traditional realistic representations.
