Football. L'Equipe de Cardiff

Football. L'Equipe de Cardiff

Robert Delaunay
French, 1885–1941
(1916)
An oil-on-paper-on-wood work in which Delaunay collapses the spectacle of a football match into a rhythmic arrangement of colors, shapes, and signage to convey motion and excitement.
A pale, chalky ground is enlivened by concentric rings, triangular color bursts and the stenciled word “ASTRA,” together suggesting a ball, stands, and advertising caught in a blur of spin and rhythm.
An example of Delaunay’s Orphist experiments, it translates modern urban life—sport, signage, and movement—into color-driven abstraction that helped push painting beyond literal representation.
