Abstract artist and co founder of Orphism art movement Robert Delaunay, often divided his canvases into equal segments, distributing complementary and non-complementary colours amongst a succession of geometric forms. This process was based on the law of simultaneous contrast, developed by French chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul who stated that two colours in close proximity will take on the hue of the complement of the adjacent colour. Delaunay applied this theory when producing ‘Joie de Vivre’, positioning hues of red and orange against greens and yellows which appears to make the surface of the canvas vibrate.
