Her inspirations were unconventional The artist found she was influenced by ‘everything around [her]’, from poetry to music to historical artefacts – on trips to the Louvre she shunned the painting galleries in favour of the collections of Egyptian jewellery, Assyrian sculpture, and the arts of Messopotamia.

Orphism is a term originating from 1912 when French poet and art critic Guillaume Appollinaire identified the new style of Cubist painting. Appollinaire was inspired by the work of František Kupka and the Delaunays, who, although channelling the Cubist vision, prioritised colour in their work.

The Legacy of Sonia Delaunay Delaunay’s textile designs extended the range of her influence into fashion, home decor and the theater.

Breaking down everyday objects into their most basic forms and hues allows you see more clearly how the colours and shapes interact. Together with her husband, Robert Delaunay, Sonia developed the concept of Simultanism, creating abstract compositions made up of dynamic contrasting colours and shapes.

During the 1920s Delaunay designed textiles and dresses, and her use of abstract colour harmonies had a strong influence on international fashion. She returned to painting in the 1930s, joining the Abstraction-Création association in 1931.

Orphism, also called Simultaneism, in the visual arts, a trend in abstract art spearheaded by Robert Delaunay that derived from Cubism and gave priority to light and colour. The movement’s name was coined in 1912 by the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire.

The most straightforward way of efficiently computing the Delaunay triangulation is to repeatedly add one vertex at a time, retriangulating the affected parts of the graph. When a vertex v is added, we split in three the triangle that contains v, then we apply the flip algorithm.

Pronunciation : American/English speakers pronounce “Voronoi” as “Vo – ro – noi” with a short “o” sound, like the “o” in “or”, for the first two syllables. The third syllable is pronounced like the “noi” as in “noise”. The stress is on the third syllable.

The Voronoi diagram is a system that divides the space into sub-spaces in an organic way. The diagram uses points to create cells that surround these points. Architects use the Voronoi diagram especially to obtain an organic structure and natural pattern in facade designs.

The Voronoi diagram is just the dual graph of the Delaunay triangulation.

1. So, the edges of the Voronoi diagram are along the perpendicular bisectors of the edges of the Delaunay triangulation, so compute those lines.
2. Then, compute the vertices of the Voronoi diagram by finding the intersections of adjacent edges.

We start by joining each pair of vertices by a line. We then draw the perpendicular bisectors to each of these lines. These three bisectors must intersect, since any three points in the plane define a circle. We then remove the portions of each line beyond the intersection and the diagram is complete.

Voronoi noise is generated by calculating distances between a pixel and a lattice of points. By offsetting these points by a pseudo-random number, controlled by input Angle Offset, a cluster of cells can be generated. The scale of these cells, and the resulting noise, is controlled by input Cell Density.
