"Champ de Mars: The Red Tower" is a work by Robert Delaunay, created between 1911 and 1923, reflecting the artist's fascination with modernity and the iconic structure of the Eiffel Tower. Belonging to the Orphism movement, derived from Cubism, this painting combines fragmentation of forms and the use of vibrant colors, creating a sense of dynamism and energy. Delaunay incorporates multiple viewpoints, breaking down the tower into a series of overlapping planes, which accentuates its monumentality. The relationship between the architectural elements and the sky highlights the interaction between the static and the ethereal, a characteristic of Modernism. This work is a celebration of modern urban life, blending geometry with emotion, which allowed Delaunay to position himself as one of the pioneers in lyrical abstraction.
