From 31 August to 18 November 2018 the Kunsthaus Z\u00fcrich is staging a major exhibition devoted to the work of Robert Delaunay (1885–1941). Its key themes include Paris, early aviation, sport and colour at the dawn of the modern era. Spanning some 80 paintings and works on paper, it is the most comprehensive exhibition to date of Delaunay’s oeuvre to be shown in Switzerland. Delaunay was an artistic pioneer who investigated the use of colour in the depiction of movement, technology, sport, and his own position as a central figure within the development of a dynamic, new and modern world. The Kunsthaus will show the full range of his work, from the early ‘divisionist’ and Fauve portraits of 1906 and 1907 to his designs for the Palais des Chemins de Fer and the Palais de l’Air at the 1937 Paris World’s Fair and the last great series of paintings, ‘Rhythms without End’, created in the final years o<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
