Known primarily as an abstract painter and colorist, Sonia Delaunay applied her talents and theories to all areas of visual expression, including interiors, fashion and textiles. A trademark of Delaunay’s work is the sense of movement and rhythm created by the simultaneous contrasts of certain colors.
This exhibit highlights the intersection of interior design, textile design and fashion design. It includes several pieces from museums and collections around the world, with a special focus on fashion designs from her own Atelier Simultane in Paris during the 1920s, as well as textiles designed for the Metz & Co. department store in Amsterdam in the 1930s.
“Color Moves: Art and Fashion by Sonia Delaunay” will run through June 5. For more information, please visit cooperhewitt.org.
