Tribute to Blériot - Robert Delaunay
Excellent
The artwork in a nutshell
Tribute to Blériot is a work by Robert Delaunay created in 1914, part of the Orphism movement. The painting celebrates the feat of Louis Blériot, the French aviator who crossed the English Channel in 1909. The painting presents an abstract composition, mixing geometric shapes and bright colours to represent the aeronautical feat.
The painter breaks down the scene into concentric and segmented circles, evoking both the movement of the propellers and the speed of the plane. Warm and cold colours intermingle, creating a dynamic and energetic effect. The presence of a plane and the Eiffel Tower can also be seen, symbolising the technological progress and innovative spirit of the time. This work reflects Delaunay's enthusiasm and admiration for the advances in aeronautics and the modern era.
