Orphism

Orphism or Orphic Cubism , a term coined by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire in 1912, was an offshoot of Cubism that focused on pure abstraction and bright colors, influenced by Fauvism , theoretical writings of Paul Signac , Charles Henry and the dye chemist Eugène Chevreul . This movement, perceived as key in the transition from Cubism to Abstract art , was pioneered by František Kupka , Robert Delaunay and Sonia Delaunay , who relaunched the use of color during the monochromatic phase of Cubism. [ 1 ] The meaning of the term Orphism was elusive when it first appeared and remains to some extent vague. [ 2 [From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphism_(art )]
