The French painter and theorist, Robert Delaunay, is one of the most relevant figures to understand the birth of abstraction in the early twentieth century. After his training as a set designer, around 1905 he became interested in the post-impressionists Gauguin and Seurat and in the color studies of Michel-Eugène Chevreul. He participated in the beginnings of Cubism, although his interest in color contrasts and the dissolution of form through light would mark a divergent note that Guillaume Apollinaire would classify as Orphism in 1912. The series The Church of Saint-Séverin, The Eiffel Tower and The Simultaneous Windows marked this path that would eventually lead to abstraction.

In 1910 he married Sonia Terk, a painter of Ukrainian origin, with whom he shared his artistic interests and a multitude of projects. He was invited by Wassily Kandinsky to participate in the first exhibition of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) in Munich, and his treatise on light, which was translated into German, exerted a notable influence on painters such as Paul Klee, Franz Marc, August Macke and Johannes Itten.

The Delaunay family was in the Iberian Peninsula at the time of the outbreak of World War I, which caused them to remain first in Portugal and then in Spain during the course of the war. During this period their painting returned to figuration. In 1920, when they settled again in Paris, Delaunay met André Breton and Tristan Tzara, who, in the course of the war, became acquainted with him.
