A richly crafted tribute to the avant-garde artist and designer Sonia Delaunay whose boundary-breaking approach is echoed in the volume’s interdisciplinarity and its inspired design   Described as “the most significant contribution to Sonia Delaunay studies in a decade ” this catalogue sets a new standard for the study of this pioneering avant-garde artist designer and entrepreneur (1885–1979). Eschewing traditional chronological structures to better showcase groundbreaking research unifying the artist’s timeless oeuvre across mediums this publication demonstrates Delaunay’s innate versatility and willingness to create without material limitation using her unique language of light and color. Textiles fashion interiors book art and more are highlighted across 26 chapters by leading international scholars to give new insight into Delaunay’s strategies of self-promotion entrepreneurial endeavors legacy-building efforts and vast network of collaborators. These in-depth analyses including previously underinvestigated material such as film mosaics tapestries and interior design offer a comprehensive perspective on Delaunay’s lifelong effort to unite art with life by harnessing the energy of technological advancement and the beauty of artisanal craftsmanship.
