Galerie Mont The Cardiff Team – Robert Delaunay^ Delaunay

Robert Delaunay’s Cardiff Team is an orphic work that depicts a rugby team, with an abstract and geometric approach. The painting features simplified, stylised forms of players surrounded by an array of geometric shapes and bright colours to create a dynamic and energetic composition.

Delaunay uses lines, triangles and circles to convey the movement of the players and the action of the match. The contrasting, bright colours reinforce the effect of movement and vitality, evoking the tension and energy that characterise sporting events. The background, composed of colourful geometric shapes, adds an extra dimension to the composition and accentuates the dynamism of the scene. In this way, The Cardiff Team embodies the essence of Delaunay’s Orphic style, where abstraction, colour and geometric shapes are used to convey the energy and movement inherent in the subject matter.
