100% Silk Scarf - Sonia DELAUNAY : Rectangles - 40 x 140 cm

Main works

The Bal Bullier, the work done on the fabrics, especially on the waves.

Artistic movements

Fauvism, abstraction, orphism, and simultaneism.

Inspiration, influence

The Impressionists, then the Fauves (sometimes she finds them too timid), then her husband Robert Delaunay.

His contemporaries

All of Europe's intellectuals and artists... The Delaunays would invite, travel, meet, discuss, and exchange ideas... Interesting and passionate about art, they were fully immersed in their time.

To keep in mind

Fiery, colorful, her Slavic soul marks the painting of her youth. Her encounter with Robert Delaunay will lead her towards other, more theoretical horizons, where her knowledge of composition will sometimes override her love for color!

To go further

Surviving near Robert for almost 40 years, she dedicated a significant part of this time to gaining recognition for his work! Love as a vehicle for art, unless it's the other way around...
