Incorporating faceted compositions, vibrant color, and contemporary subject matter that together coveted delight in the modern life and its technological innovations, the unique style of the French artist, Robert Delaunay, is best known for introducing vibrant color into Cubism, and thereby originated the trend eventually known as Orphism.

An important figure in 20th-century art, Delaunay was born on April 12, 1885, in Paris, into a prominent family.
