Sonia Delaunay at the Cooper Hewitt
We’ve waited long enough! The Cooper Hewitt National Museum is featuring the works of Sonia Delaunay now until June 19. This is the first major exhibit of Delaunay’s works in a national museum for over 40 odd years. Yes, it’s been a long time coming. Delaunay (1885-1979) was a Jewish-French artist whose design aesthetics dwell in strong colors and geometric shapes. Along with her husband Robert Delaunay and others, she co-founded the Orphism art movement.
Through her paintings, drawings, painted ceramics, neon lights, sculptures, posters, textiles and costume designs, Ms. Delaunay merged art and everyday life. The beautiful textiles that she produced through her life proved her idea that color was “the skin of the world”.
