More about this artwork

Welcome to our exploration of Robert Delaunay's captivating painting, "Manège de cochons" (1922). This artwork stands out as a vibrant example of Delaunay's distinctive use of color and form, reflecting the energetic spirit of Orphism, an offshoot of Cubism that emphasizes pure abstraction and bright hues.In "Manège de cochons", one can observe a whimsical and lively scene that appears to depict a carousel, specifically a pig-themed ride, as suggested by the title which translates to "Pig Carousel" from French. The composition bursts with dynamic, overlapping circular forms and a kaleidoscope of colors that evoke the movement and joyous chaos of a fairground attraction.At the center of the image, amidst the swirls of color, the silhouette of a pig can be discerned, playfully reinforcing the theme. Around this central motif, abstracted figures of spectators and possibly other carousel creatures blend into the whirl of colors, suggesting the motion of turning.Delaunay's mastery in blending color and form achieves a sense of rhythm and depth, making the painting pulse with life, as if capturing a moment of joy frozen in time yet still vibrating with movement.
