Born in the Ukraine as Sonia Terk, she married Robert Delaunay in Paris in 1910. Together they pioneered the Modernist Movement and explored color theory. She invented the use of abstract designs for fabrics and designed clothing that quickly became the rage in avant garde circles and remains modern to this day. In addition to fashion and textile design, Sonia Delaunay also created costumes for the Ballets Russes and early cinema, book bindings, furniture and interiors. Her books, created in collaboration with the great Surrealist authors, are masterpieces of abstraction. Major works on paper include "La Prose du Transsiberien," 1913; "Ses Objets, ses peintures, ses tissus simultanes, ses modes," 1924; "Compositions, couleurs, idees," 1930 and "Rhythmes - Couleurs," 1966. |
