The term "Orphism" was created in 1912 by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire in reference to the paintings of Robert Delaunay. Apollinaire drew a connection between the colorful, cubist-like canvases, and the mythological figure, Orpheus, who symbolizes the art of song and lyre. The Greek legend describes Orpheus as the ideal, mystically inspired artist.
