DELAUNAY Sonia

(1885 – 1979)

Ukrainian-French artist. At the beginning of the century, she took part in Fauvisme.

She wanted to get rid of her “Bourgeois academism and classicism”. She met her husband Robert Delaunay with whom she will synthesize cubism and futurism to create Orphism. These architectural forms mixed with warm colours will remind her of Fauvism.
