SONIA DELAUNAY (1885, Odessa–1979, Paris) was trained in St. Petersburg, Karlsruhe, and Paris around 1900, and initially established herself as a portrait painter before dedicating her work to abstraction around 1913. With her husband Robert Delaunay, she experimented with the concept of “Simultané” based on the use of intense color contrasts. During a stay in Portugal and Spain in World War I, she expanded her art to the objects of life. Back in Paris in the 1920s, she combined her ambitions in painting and design with her fashion and furnishing house “Sonia Delaunay.” Her influence continues to this day, her patterns being as modern as ever.
