Robert Delaunay (1885-1941) was a French artist of the School of Paris movement who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, co-founded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract. His key influence related to the bold use of colour and a clear love of experimentation with both depth and tone.

From 1912 to 1914, Delaunay's non-figurative paintings focused on colour. His early paintings were deeply rooted in Neo-Impressionism, which he later abandoned. His writings on colour, which were influenced by scientists and theoreticians, were largely intuitive and could sometimes be random statements based on the belief that colour was a thing in itself, with its own powers of expression and form. He believed that painting was a purely visual art that depended on intellectual elements, and perception was in the impact of coloured light on the eye.
