Robert Delaunay quotes - page 2

The eye is the most refined of our senses, the one which communicates most directly with our mind, our consciousness. (Robert Delaunay)

It is this research into pure painting that is the problem at the present moment. I do not know any painters in Paris who are really searching for this ideal world.

Robert Delaunay

I say it is indispensable to look ahead of and behind oneself in the present. If there is such a thing as tradition, and I believe there is, it can only exist in the sense of the most profound movements of culture.

Robert Delaunay

Light in nature creates movement in color. The movement is provided by the relationships of uneven measures, of colors contrasts among themselves and constitutes Reality [In this quote Delaunay is referring to his series 'Window'-paintings', which he had started in 1912].

Robert Delaunay

In this movement of colors I find the essence, which does not arise from a system, or an a priori theory.

Robert Delaunay

This synchronous action then will be the Subject, which is the representative harmony.

Robert Delaunay

The woman of City of Paris' [Delaunay painted in 1910 – 1912] sums up the [his] Cubist period.. ..'The Cardiff team' [he painted in 1913] is more significant in the expression of colour, less shattered. The yellow poster in the complete picture contrasts with the blues, greens and orange.
