EDITORS COMMENTS
Robert Delaunay's vibrant and enigmatic painting, "Carousel with Pigs," created in 1922, is a captivating example of the Orphic style, a movement that sought to express the rhythmic and emotional essence of modern life through abstract forms and bold colors. This oil on canvas masterpiece, now housed at the Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou in Paris, France, invites viewers to explore the dynamic interplay of circles and geometric shapes, as well as the intriguing presence of pigs, which have been interpreted as metaphors for the human condition and the cyclical nature of life. Delaunay, a pioneering figure in the European avant-garde, was a key figure in the Orphic movement, which emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the fragmentation and chaos of modernity. His work, like that of his fellow Orphists, sought to evoke a sense of hallucination and metaphysical transformation through the use of color and form. "Carousel with Pigs" is a striking example of Delaunay's ability to capture the energy and movement of the modern world, while also imbuing his work with a sense of mystery and symbolism. The painting's bold, circular forms and vivid colors seem to dance and swirl, inviting viewers to join in the Orphic celebration of life and the cosmos. Despite its abstract qualities, "Carousel with Pigs" remains grounded in the human experience, with the pigs serving as a reminder of the earthy, corporeal aspects of existence. The painting invites us to consider the complexities of the human condition, and to find meaning and beauty in the rhythms and patterns of the world around us.
