Rythme colore 1952

Sonia Delaunay made "Rythme colore" with paint in 1953, and it's all about how she put the colours and shapes together, like a puzzle with no right answer. The colours are bold and happy, laid down in flat blocks, but it's not just about the colours themselves, it’s about how they bounce off each other. The surfaces have this soft, almost velvety quality. The way she layers colors creates an emotional vibration, like a visual hum. Look at the overlapping circles: how the blues and greens seem to pulse and breathe against the reds and grays. The way Delaunay let each color define its neighbor, makes it a colour conversation. Delaunay was experimenting with how simple shapes and colours could create a sense of movement and rhythm. It's all a bit like Josef Albers and his work on the interaction of colours. In the end, it’s not about figuring it out, but about enjoying the ride.
