Homage to Blériot is a tempera on canvas painting by French painter Robert Delaunay, from 1914.
[3] This canvas celebrates the French aviation pioneer and constructor Louis Blériot, in a typical simultaneist composition, by notably representing symbols of progress, namely a biplane, seen flying above the Eiffel Tower, in Paris, at the right, and a propeller, at the left.
The composition is filled with the typical orphic colourful solar disks and geometric shapes, with influences also from neo-impressionism, cubism and futurism.
Constructive mobility of the solar spectrum; dawn, fire, evolution of airplanes.
Everything is roundness, sun, earth, horizons, intense plenitude of life, a poetry which one cannot render into language...
