Galerie Mont Portrait of Metzinger – Robert Delaunay^ Delaunay

Portrait of Metzinger is an oil on canvas painting created in 1906 by the French artist Robert Delaunay. The portrait depicts Jean Metzinger, a Cubist painter and theorist who was a contemporary of Delaunay, in an avant-garde and colourful style.

In this composition, Delaunay uses geometric shapes and chromatic contrasts to depict Metzinger’s face and bust. Bright colours, such as shades of green, blue and red, add a touch of expressiveness to the painting. The planes of the face and clothing are fragmented and recomposed, offering a cubist representation of the subject. The work illustrates the mutual admiration and respect between the two artists and their shared interest in formal and colourful exploration in painting.
