Simultaneous Dresses (Three Women, Forms, Colours) 1925

Sonia Delaunay's "Simultaneous Dresses (Three Women, Forms, Colours)" from 1925 is a vibrant example of Orphism, a style of painting she and her husband Robert Delaunay pioneered. The work features three female figures whose bodies are largely obscured by colorful geometric patterns that represent dresses. The use of bold colors, sharp lines, and flat planes creates a dynamic composition that emphasizes the abstract qualities of form and color. The overall effect is one of energy and movement, reflecting the modern spirit of the early 20th century. The painting is currently held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.
