Sonia Delaunay: art, design, fashion

Abstract

"The present exhibition aims to highlight how her time in Madrid permanently changed Sonia Delaunay. In Spain, she devoted herself with intensity to the applied arts, from clothing that she created in her Madrid workshop to the design of everyday objects, marked by her particular style centered on the overwhelming force of colour and formal experimentation."
