Galerie Mont Propeller – Robert Delaunay^ Delaunay

In Hélice, Robert Delaunay illustrates his interest in technology and innovation through his orphic style. The painting depicts an aeroplane propeller, the central element of the work, surrounded by geometric shapes and bright colours.

The propeller is broken down into coloured segments, creating a dynamic effect and suggesting the movement of rotation. The contrasting colours, mainly primary and secondary shades, reinforce this impression of movement and energy. The geometric shapes surrounding the propeller evoke an industrial and mechanical environment. This work highlights the links between art and technology, characteristic of the Orphic movement. Delaunay explores the possibilities of colour and geometry to represent the technological advances of his time, while emphasising the energy and movement that flow from them.
