Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910 – 1930
The first in-depth exhibition to explore the Orphism movement, which emerged in Paris in the 1910s, opens at the Guggenheim Museum, New York in November 2024. Orphism, a term coined by poet Guillaume Apollinaire in 1912, was an art movement focused on abstraction and a multisensory approach. An offshoot of Cubism, core elements included colour and sound, formal harmony and dissonance, and geographic convergence and dislocation. Orphism in Paris comprises over 80 artworks, around a quarter of which are drawn directly from the collection of art that Frank Lloyd Wright designed the museum to house – just in time for the building’s 65th anniversary. Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910–1930 runs from November
8, 2024 to March 9, 2025.
