Windows Open Simultaneously (First Part, Second Motif)
Robert Delaunay · 1912
Why it's great
Robert Delaunay painted a window opening onto Paris, but the city dissolves into patches of bright color, like light shining through colored glass. He painted this in 1912 as part of a series of Windows, and a poet called his style Orphism.
