Orphism emerged in the early 1910s, when the innovations brought about by modern life were

radically altering conceptions of time and space. Artists connected to Orphism engaged with ideas

color, form, and motion. Featuring around 100 artworks to be presented in the museum’s iconic

rotunda, this major exhibition will examine the vibrant abstract art of Orphism. It will explore the

transnational movement’s developments in Paris, addressing the impact dance, music, and poetry
