Composition 30 1930

"Composition 30" (1930) by Sonia Delaunay is a prime example of the artist's signature style of Orphism. Delaunay's work is characterized by its use of bold colors and geometric shapes, creating a sense of vibrant energy and movement. In "Composition 30," she uses a limited palette of red, blue, and purple, but the colors are so bright and saturated that they almost pulse with life. The geometric shapes, primarily zigzags, overlap and intertwine, creating an intricate pattern that draws the viewer's eye across the canvas. The use of vibrant colors and simple geometric shapes in Delaunay's work influenced many modern artists, and her contributions to the development of abstract art are still celebrated today.
