Resisting abstraction : Robert Delaunay and vision in the face of modernism / Gordon Hughes

by Gordon A. Hughes

This study of French painter Robert Delaunay argues he was the earliest artist to work in pure abstraction. Grounded in material sensation and optical science, his colourful canvases rejected spiritual idealism and shaped mid-twentieth-century modernist art.
