Sonia Delaunay, known for her love of vibrant colors and abstract forms, created this print for XXe Siecle, a French art and architecture review. The bold, flat colors and simplified shapes speak to a playful approach to abstraction, where the act of making seems just as important as the final image. Check out the way she uses color to create a sense of movement and rhythm. The black lines act almost like a skeleton, holding together the swirling blues, greens, and reds. The yellow background isn't just a backdrop, it pushes forward, making the whole composition feel alive. I’m drawn to the little figure at the bottom, like a footnote to the grand color story above. Delaunay's work shares a kinship with artists like Kandinsky, who sought to express spiritual experiences through abstract forms. Delaunay isn't about fixed meanings, but about feeling and experiencing the world through color.
