This untitled print was made by Sonia Delaunay, and it exemplifies her lifelong exploration of color and form. Delaunay has used screen printing, a process that involves pushing ink through a mesh stencil to create an image. Notice how the boldness of color contrasts with the lightness of touch in the charcoal shading. The flat planes of color create movement and depth, which are characteristics of Delaunay's artistic style. She translated painterly gesture into industrial media, which was very much in keeping with the spirit of her times. Her approach reflects an interest in the democratization of art, making her works accessible to a wider audience through printmaking. By choosing these materials and processes, Delaunay blurs the boundaries between fine art and design, elevating the status of printmaking as a medium for artistic expression.
