(*) Sonia Delaunay was born on November 14, 1885, in Gradizhsk, Ukraine.
Her birth name was Sarah Ilínichna Stern. She was born into a very modest family, who, unable to take care of her, sent her to live with her uncle and aunt Anna and Heinrich Terk in Saint Petersburg, who legally adopted her.
She traveled across Europe with her adoptive parents and learned several languages.
She studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe, Germany.
In 1904, she moved to Paris, where her artistic talent was influenced by the Post-Impressionists and Fauves.
She married Wilhelm Uhde in 1909. A year later she divorced and married the painter Robert Delaunay. They were the parents of a son, Charles Delaunay.
From 1910, she drew inspiration from the forms of Cubism and the colors of Gauguin, van Gogh, among others, developing a style based on the juxtaposition of pure colors split into prisms.
With this technique she produced paintings, fabrics, and designed costumes for the theater.
During 1911 she created her first “simultaneous dress,” combining different very colorful fabrics. A few years later she applied this technique to upholstery as well, which was used by other designers in later decades.
In 1917 and 1918 she contributed to set and costume design for Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes.
In the following years she mainly dedicated herself to fashion design and hand-printed fabrics with bright colors that revolutionized textile design.
In 1925 she participated in the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris, where she presented her ‘simultaneous boutique,’ which brought her great popularity.
From 1940 her pictorial style became softer and simpler, especially in gouaches, where her chromatic experiments reached new heights of refinement.
In 1964, the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris received a donation of 58 of her works, which were exhibited in the Louvre, making her the first woman to have her paintings exhibited in this museum during her lifetime.
The French state named her Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1975.
She published the book Nouvelles Irons jusqu’au soleil (1978), reflections on her work and that of her husband Robert.
Sonia Delaunay died on December 5, 1979, at the age of 94, in Paris, France.
