Windows is a series of paintings created between 1912 and 1913 by the French painter Robert Delaunay. The paintings are oil and wax on canvas, and they mark Delaunay's turn towards abstraction and interest in color. The fragmented compositions of colored shapes are prime examples of Delaunay's use of simultaneous contrast.
It is part of the Windows painting series. The current painting, like its predecessor, Simultaneous Windows 2nd Motif, 1st Part, is held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, in New York. [1] A painting with the same title is held at Tate Modern, in London. [2]

From 1912 to 1914, Delaunay's nonfigurative paintings focused on color. His early paintings were deeply rooted in Neoimpressionism which he abandoned later. His writings on color, which were influenced by scientists and theoreticians, were largely intuitive and could sometimes be random statements based on the belief that color was a thing in itself, with its own powers of expression and form.
