Portrait of Madame Heim

Hello everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to be detectives and solve the mystery of this painting. It's called "Portrait of Madame Heim." Can you say "Madame Heim?" Excellent! nn Now, look closely at the painting. Does it look like a photograph, or is it different? That's right, it's different! The artist, Robert Delaunay, used shapes and colors in a special way. Instead of making Madame Heim look exactly like she did in real life, he used triangles, squares, and circles to paint her face. How cool is that? nn Look at all the colors! Do they remind you of a rainbow? Delaunay loved to use bright and bold colors to make his paintings exciting. He wanted to show how lively and full of energy the world is! nn What do you think Madame Heim is thinking about in this painting? Maybe she's thinking about a fun party or a day at the park. What do you think? nn Delaunay's painting is like a puzzle, but instead of putting pieces together, we use our eyes and our imagination to understand it. Great job being art detectives today!
