“lyrical, shimmering chromatic effects that these painters sought to introduce into the drier aesthetic of cubism.”- Apollinaire

ORPHISM

Orphism is considered an abstract form of cubism.  It was developed around 1912 in France.  Orphism is usually flat, 
brightly coloured and has a patterned style.  The term was given by Guillaume Apollinaire.  Orphique refers to the Symbolists 
that came from Orpheus, a Greek myth.  Apollinaire considered it a study of mystery, occult and astrological sources.  Artists who 
created this type of art considered there was a source of light in 
which represented the power to create new colours and new forms. 

Guillaume Apollinaire was a poet and since Cubism did not have a specific definition, he considered Orphism as where artists who
 were painting away from subject-matter that was recognizable.  He considered the colour which communicated the sentiments 
and meaning.  (Elaine Leung)
