Simultaneous Dresses (Three Women, Forms, Colours) 1925

Sonia Delaunay made Simultaneous Dresses with oil on canvas, and it’s a party of pattern and color. Delaunay applies the paint with a kind of calm confidence. It’s not about hiding the process, but letting the brushstrokes and the textures speak. The surface has this cool, matte quality, like she’s inviting us to touch it, to feel the rhythm of the paint. Look at the dress in the center, it's like a maze of color, pulling you in and pushing you out at the same time. Each stripe is a decision, a conversation between hues. Delaunay was always playing with the boundaries between art, fashion, and design, and you can see that in the way she uses geometric shapes and bold colors here. It feels like she's challenging us to see the world in a new way. I’m reminded of Hilma af Klint, and the way she used abstraction to explore hidden dimensions. It's all about questioning, exploring, and embracing the unknown.
