Colour moves : art and fashion by Sonia Delaunay

Monti, Matteo de, author2011English
Although she was known primarily as an abstract painter and colourist, Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979) applied her talents and theories to all areas of visual expression, including graphics, interiors, theatre and film, fashion and textiles. A trademark of Delaunay's work is the sense of movement and rhythm created by the simultaneous contrasts of certain colours. Colour Moves focuses not only on her art but also the avant-garde fashion designs from her own Atelier Simultane in Paris during the 1920s as well as textiles she designed for the Metz & Co Department store in Amsterdam in the 1930s. The book features authoritative essays by Matilda McQuaid, Matteo de Leeuw-de Monti and Petra Timmer, accompanied by reproductions of over 250 of Delaunay's paintings, drawings, textiles and garments with correlating designs, fashion illustrations and period photographs.
