Untitled 1970

This untitled print was created by Sonia Delaunay sometime during her career. It features a vibrant array of colours arranged in a circular composition of squares. These blocks of colour, from reds and blues to greens and blacks, create a harmonious yet dynamic visual experience. Delaunay’s work often explored the interactions of colour and form, a style she termed ‘Simultanism.’ In this print, the arrangement of colours creates a sense of movement and depth, destabilizing any fixed perspective. The geometric structure of the squares contrasts with the overall circular shape, challenging our expectations of order and symmetry. The print engages with broader ideas about abstraction and representation. By reducing forms to their essential geometric shapes and focusing on the interplay of colour, Delaunay invites us to reconsider how we perceive and interpret visual information. The tension between the geometric and the organic, the static and the dynamic, embodies a play that resonates with the artistic and philosophical currents of the early 20th century.
