Sonia Delaunay Exhibition at the Bard Graduate Center
About the Event:
As a painter, artisan, and designer Sonia Delaunay left her imprimatur on the fields of fashion, textiles, interiors, books and the theatre. She was a true Renaissance woman whose work experimented, explored and exploded with color. Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience her prodigious body of work during ADSNY's members-only curator-led visit to this special exhibition.
Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Her remarkably diverse and interconnected body of work focused on the primacy of color and a synthesis of the arts. Painter, artisan, and designer, she embraced modernity and harnessed the creative power of collaboration in the realms of fashion, textiles, interiors, books, mosaics, and tapestries. Living Art comprises almost 200 objects secured from major international lenders, reflecting Delaunay’s kaleidoscopic output through all periods of her career from the early Parisian avant-garde of the 1910s to the spirited 1970s. Exploring the materiality, making, and marketing of her work, the exhibition traces a lifetime of creative expression and presents an innovator who transcended conventional artistic boundaries and devotedly lived her art.
