 MoMA.org | The Collection | Robert Delaunay. Simultaneous Contrasts: Sun and Moon. Paris 1913 (dated on painting 1912)
Delaunay was fascinated by how the interaction of colors produces sensations of depth and movement, without reference to the natural world.
In Simultaneous Contrasts that movement is the rhythm of the cosmos, for the painting's circular frame is a sign for the universe, and its flux of reds and oranges, greens and blues, is attuned to the sun and the moon, the rotation of day and night.
The poet Guillaume Apollinaire christened Delaunay's style "Orphism," after Orpheus, the musician of Greek legend whose eloquence on the lyre is a mythic archetype for the power of art.

A representative selection of works by both artists illustrates their transition from objectivity to abstraction (1912/13) and their later ventures into applied artistic spheres, whereby the creative interplay between Robert and Sonia Delaunay, probably the most famous artistic couple of the 20th century, plays a central role.
Sonia Delaunay’s involvement in the applied arts can be seen in the presentation of objects such as jewellery boxes, ties and a patchwork quilt.
The spirit of the age is brought to life by additional documentary material from the Centre Pompidou archives, which not only provides an insight into the biography of the artistic couple but also highlights the Delaunays’ links to Germany, th poet friends, the world of fashion and the Paris Exposition of 1937.
