His later works were more abstract. His key influence related to bold use of colour and a clear love of experimentation with both depth and tone. Delaunay is most closely identified with Orphism. He painted nonfigurative paintings based on the optical characteristics of brilliant colors that were so dynamic they would function as the form. His theories are mostly concerned with color and light and influenced many artists. Apollinaire, a french poet, was strongly influenced by Delaunay’s theories of color and often quoted from them to explain Orphism. His writings on color, which were influenced by scientists and theoreticians, are intuitive and can sometimes be random statements based on the belief that color is a thing in itself, with its own powers of expression and form. He believes painting is a purely visual art that depends on intellectual elements, and perception is in the impact of colored light on the eye. The contrasts and harmonies of color produce in the eye simultaneous movements and correspond to movement in nature. Vision becomes the subject of painting. His early paintings are deeply rooted in Neoimpressionism. Influences in future series were Cézanne, Analytical Cubism, and Futurism. Inter penetration of tangible objects and surrounding space is accompanied by the intense movement of geometric planes that are more dynamic than the static equilibrium of Cubist forms.
