Composition 24 1930

Sonia Delaunay made this, "Composition 24," and what strikes me is how controlled and deliberate it all is! It's like she's setting up a puzzle with these cool blues, playing with light and dark in a super organized way. I can imagine her carefully mapping this out, maybe even using stencils or rulers to get those sharp lines. There's something so satisfying about the repetition of shapes, like a visual rhythm that pulls you in. You get a sense of her just exploring how color can create depth and movement, even within a strict geometric framework. It reminds me of some of the Bauhaus artists who were also experimenting with geometry and color theory. It's like Delaunay is having a conversation with them, but adding her own unique flavor! It makes you think about all the different ways we can make sense of the world through shapes and colors, and how artists keep building on each other's ideas over time.
