Robert Delaunay‘s Eiffel Tower is an emphatic celebration of modernity. The soaring wrought iron girders of the Eiffel Tower, erected for the Paris International Exposition in 1889, had already become an icon of the modern age. The whirling propeller forms at the upper left are also symbols of technological advancement, an allusion to the heroic cross-Channel flight of Louis Blériot in 1911.
