More information

Delaunay, Sonia (1885-1979), Russian-French painter, who in 1911 together with her husband Robert Delaunay and others founded the Orphist movement, known for its vibrant colours and geometric forms. The bright rainbow colours and the balanced composition expressed joy and confidence in both the future and technology. Sonia Delaunay was also a fashion designer, with pure lines and geometric forms as ideals in her elegant fashion sketches. She aimed to adapt the dresses to the movements of the female body and envisioned a future in an industrially produced, democratic fashion. The grey cubism was not Sonia Delaunay's, as she carried throughout her life the legacy of the Fauves and her Russian homeland. The 1920s became the age of imagination, folly, and Jazz, where work and pleasure intertwined. She was the first female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre in 1964. She has also been awarded the Legion of Honour.

Designer

Sonia Delaunay (1885-1997) was a Russian-French painter, who in 1911 together with her husband Robert Delaunay together with others, established the Orphist movement, a movement known for its strong colours and geometric forms. Its kaleidoscopic colour scheme and balanced compositions express an aura of joy and comfort in both future and technology. Delaunay was even a fashion designer who incorporated clean lines and geometrical forms into her elegant fashion sketches. She desired to tailor clothing to the female form’s movements and envisioned a future of industrially replicated, democratic fashion. Unlike the grayness of Cubism, Sonia Delaunay's work carried the legacy of the Fauves and her Russian homeland throughout her life. The 1920s were an era of fantasy, madness, and Jazz, where work and pleasure intertwined. She was the first female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre in 1964 and was also awarded the Legion of Honor.
