More about this artwork

"Woman with a Parasol" is a compelling work by the innovative French artist Robert Delaunay, created in 1913. This painting is a vivid exploration into the use of color and form, characteristic of Delaunay's shift towards abstraction in his art. In this piece, the figure of a woman is abstracted into bold, dynamic shapes and a radiant spectrum of colors, making her almost merge with her surroundings.Delaunay has masterfully divided the canvas into sections of lush greens, deep blues, vibrant yellows, and fiery reds, which seem to swirl around the central figure holding a parasol. The parasol itself is not immediately recognizable due to the abstraction, but its presence is suggested through the interplay of shapes and colors, casting an impression of lightness and movement. The earthy tones at the lower part of the canvas provide a grounding effect, suggesting the woman’s connection to the natural world around her while the cooler tones near the top might imply the sky above.This artwork perfectly encapsulates Delaunay's dedication to Orphism, a branch of Cubism focused on pure abstraction and bright colors.
