EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "Air, Rail and Water, study, 1937" by Robert Delaunay takes viewers on a visual journey through the progress of transportation in the early 20th century. This vibrant print showcases Delaunay's mastery of cubism and orphism, as he brilliantly combines bold colors and abstract forms to depict elements of air, rail, and water. At the center of the composition stands a majestic steam engine, symbolizing the power and innovation of railway travel. Surrounding it are swirling shapes representing air currents and waves that evoke a sense of movement and dynamism. The iconic Eiffel Tower looms in the background, serving as a landmark for this modernist exploration. Delaunay's use of color is strikingly bright and vivid, reflecting his fascination with capturing light in art. The three graces depicted at the top left corner add an ethereal touch to the piece while emphasizing its connection to classical mythology. This artwork not only celebrates technological advancements but also highlights Parisian charm through its depiction of famous landmarks. It serves as a testament to Delaunay's unique artistic vision which seamlessly blends elements from various disciplines such as engineering, futurism, and abstraction. "Air, Rail and Water" invites viewers into a world where traditional boundaries between different modes of transport are blurred. Through this mesmerizing composition filled with energy and movement, Delaunay reminds us that progress lies at the intersection of multiple forces working together harmoniously.
