Delaunay’s picture of a red Eiffel Tower and a white geometrical background is a good picture, but what was he trying to say?
Well, first of all he liked large objects to focus on, things you can see from a distance, so this narrowed down his field of interest a bit.
He liked large object because of the new technology that it involved to create them, therefore they are always an innovation. He thought the only thing keeping a country going was how well they can keep up with new ideas and inventions.
I think this is probably true to a certain extent, although you can have quite a peaceful rural life as long as you don’t get sick.
This is great art and you should have a look at it. Pictures at world Gallery click the link below
