The first in-depth examination of Orphism, which emerged in Paris among a cosmopolitan group of artists in the early 1910s.

The exhibition brings together many of the most influential works in abstraction’s early history such as Leopold Survage’s “Les Rythmes Colorées” from 1913 and covers a wide range of artistic production, including paintings, drawings, books, sculptures, films, photographs, sound poems, atonal music, and non-narrative dance, to draw a cross-media portrait of these watershed years.

Leopold Survage’s groundbreaking series “Les Rythmes Colorées” from 1913 which he envisioned being transformed into an abstract animated film, but was never realised due to the outbreak of WWI, has now at last been digitally created.
