One of the most important artists of the 20th century. Born in 1885 into a Jewish family in Ukraine, Sonia Delaunay—Sarah Stern by birth name—was adopted shortly afterward by her uncle Henri Terk and grew up in Russia in a cultured environment. The young girl received a classical Russian education and developed a passion for European art. On the advice of her drawing teacher at the Saint Petersburg high school, Sonia was sent to Germany in 1903 to pursue her artistic studies.
The young woman moved to Paris in 1905 and attended classes at the Académie de la Palette in Montparnasse. Shortly after, she discovered Fauvism, which captivated her.
The year 1908 was pivotal, marking the meeting between Sonia Stern and Robert Delaunay at the Uhde Gallery on Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs. The couple, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, played a significant role in the renewal of modern art. Both contributed to the development of abstract art, particularly Orphism. Their works, sometimes confused, are distinguished by their powerful colors, movement, and light.
In 1946, Sonia Delaunay co-founded a salon dedicated to abstraction: the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles. This exhibition—still relevant today—aims to promote concrete, abstract, and non-figurative works of art.
The works of Sonia Delaunay (paintings, posters, objects, illustrated books, clothing, tapestries) are primarily exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
