Sonia Delaunay was a Ukrainian-born French artist and the wife of painter Robert Delaunay.
She was influenced in her style by the Post-Impressionist paintings of Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Henri Rousseau, as well as Andre Derain and Henri Matisse. Sonia Delaunay married art gallery owner Wilhelm Uhde in a marriage of convenience. She later divorced him to marry artist Robert Delaunay, with whom she founded the Orphism art movement, a style of Cubism.
Later in life, Sonia became an influential fabric designer and designed costumes for stage shows and films.
Many of Sonia Delaunay’s paintings hold their own today as contemporary works of art that sit well in modern interior design. You can now buy beautiful Sonia Delaunay reproduction paintings online.
