  1. "Relief Orange," Robert Delaunay, 1936.

    French artist Delaunay (1885-1941) invented a short-lived style of modern art he dubbed Orphism, which centered on geometric shapes, mostly circles, and strong colors.

    He loved experimenting with color and form, and his Orphist works, while not having much in the way of messages, were visually arresting. This one is a great example; the circles are all strongly colored, and the waves radiating from them, all overlapping and interacting, are fascinating to behold.

    He later moved on from Orphism and experimented with Abstract and Surrealist work, and even dabbled in Dada, until cancer took him at 56.

    There's something playful yet meticulous about this work, and makes me think of the Op Art movement of the 60s and 70s, which may have taken inspiration from him.

    From a private collection.

  9. "White Flower," Georgia O'Keefe, 1929.

    O'Keefe (1887-1986) is an ultra-famous painter, even today. Her studies of plants from extreme close-ups are topics of debate and conversation forty years after her death.

    Many felt, and still feel today, that her work was an exploration of female anatomy and sexuality, but O'Keefe always vehemently denied it. Her reasoning was that by studying organic forms in extreme close-up, she reduced them to studies in color, pattern, and form.

    No matter how you interpret her work, it's still worth checking out.

    Happy Flower Friday!

  14. "The Great Parade," Fernand Léger, 1954.

    Léger (1881-1955) was a painter, sculptor, and filmmaker, first starting off in his own style of Cubism that he called "Tubism," then branching off into a more general Modernist style that many feel prefigured Pop Art.

    He had some interesting viewpoints, one being that in Modern art, the painting itself should be what draws attention, rather than merely the subject, an interesting viewpoint. (And it makes sense in the post-photography world.)

    But he also felt that art should be for everyone, not just wealthy connoisseurs, and this painting is an expression of that. Here we have his rendition of a circus parade, with dancers, acrobats, and clowns all carrying on, entertainment for common people. There's even a big red C for "cirque". We also have what seem to be cameras surrounding the figures as well. The outlined figures overlaid with broad swaths of color is an arresting visual element that draws the eye. It's regarded as his masterwork.
