| description | Introduction: «Orphism» is one of the most important artistic movements in world art history, and its bright colors and circular shape are among its most essential features. This movement is a branch of «Cubism» style. Cubism was an advancement in art that influenced artists to abandon existing traditions and form new movements, such as Orphism. The present research first examines the color and form in the works of Orphism, and in order to investigate its evolution, it examines the color and geometric shapes in Cubism to discover the factors that cause changes in the transition from Cubism to Orphism. Then, it explores what is so powerful about the circle shape that drives artists to use it to convey ideas. This research aims to investigate the emergence of bright circles in Orphism based on the evolution of the color element and geometric shapes in the transition from Cubism to Orphism and to identify these developments in the works of artists such as Picasso, Braque, Gris, Delaunay, and Kupka.Research Method: The current research method is descriptive-analytical, and data collection is conducted using documents and library materials, such as note-taking and photo reading. The statistical population of this research is thirteen paintings in Cubism and Orphism styles.Findings: The circle shape was the best way to evoke music due to its endless and continuous movement in combination with bright and vibrant colors. When music is depicted, the evidence shows that abstraction and reaching something beyond the material world are concerns for them; this is one of the other reasons for choosing the circle shape, which symbolizes the reflection of the world, unity, sublimity, integrity, and divine nature. The representation of movement, music, and celestial symbols with bright, vibrant colors and a circular shape in the works of Orphism can be seen as the continuation of the geometry of Cubism, and on the other hand, compared them with everyday day and earthly scenes, such as nature and still life with limited colors and dimensions of Cubism.Conclusion: Cubist artists with a realistic mentality sought to express earthly and material events. Orphisms followed an extraterrestrial and spiritual point of view and displayed it in their works with bright circles, one of the oldest meaningful symbols of humanity. |
