get pushed #50 - orphic cubism

my get pushed partner this week is the lovely christine krebs @dancingkatz who challenged me to "a photograph inspired by the work of the 20th century Cubist artist, Robert Delaunay." christine, here's what i came up with and i hope this meets your push as i'm not really good at abstracts.

from wikipedia.org: "Robert Delaunay (12 April 1885 – 25 October 1941) was a French artist who, with his wife Sonia Delaunay and others, cofounded the Orphism art movement, noted for its use of strong colours and geometric shapes. His later works were more abstract, reminiscent of Paul Klee. His key influence related to bold use of colour, and a clear love of experimentation of both depth and tone."

you won't believe it but this is a photograph of a chair, hard to sit on but sturdy enough. i must say i forgot what it's original colour was but heck, it's lovely for me to have noticed it. i thought right away of the delaunay dude but didn't quite know how to approach the challenge. but thank heavens for ipiccy and ribbet!

tagging this also for the etsooi-13.
This is really great, Vikki! It could also be tagged ETSOOI-13 Vibrance! Just great!

@summerfield oH yea....it started yesterday I think it was. The theme is "vibrant color" which is an easy one in ETSOOI! I say that, but the one I tagged is not very vibrant. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow i will find something with vibrant color.
