Английский Язык - Английский Язык
A religious movement in antiquity, supposed to have been founded by Orpheus
A minor Cubist art movement focusing on pure abstraction and bright colours
Trend in Cubism that gave priority to colour. Its name, bestowed in 1912 by Guillaume Apollinaire, recalls not only the legendary Orpheus but the Symbolist painters' description of Paul Gauguin's use of colour as "Orphic art." Among the painters who worked in this style were Robert Delaunay, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia, and Marcel Duchamp. The best-known example is Delaunay's abstract Simultaneous Composition: Sun Disks (1912-13), in which superimposed circles of colour have their own rhythm and movement
{i} 20th century artistic movement that grew out of Cubism (maintained the use of bold colors and contrast, but in a lighter style than in Cubism)
