Description
Robert Delaunay’s Champs de Mars: The Red Tower places the Eiffel Tower within a fractured view of Paris. Bright red ironwork rises between bending buildings, while pale blue, yellow, and white patches break up the sky. The surrounding city seems to shift around the landmark.
The composition turns a familiar structure into an energetic arrangement of color and angles. The tower remains recognizable, but its setting no longer follows a single viewpoint. Delaunay gives the urban scene a sense of restless visual movement.
