Orphism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily associated with the works of Robert Delaunay and Sonia Delaunay. It emphasizes the use of vibrant colors and abstract forms, focusing on the interplay of light and movement. Orphism seeks to convey emotional experiences through color rather than representational forms, making it a significant precursor to later abstract art. The term "Orphism" was coined by Apollinaire, who linked the movement to the idea of music and rhythm in visual art. This connection highlights the importance of sensory experience in Orphism, as artists aimed to evoke feelings and sensations similar to those found in music.
