Sonia Delaunay-Terk (1885-1979)

Sonia Delaunay-Terk was the first living artist to have a retrospective in 1964 at the Louvre. She began studying at the age of 18 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe. She then continued her studies at the Acadmie de La Palette in Paris. In her first marriage she was married to the gallery owner Wilhelm Uhde and in her second marriage to the painter Robert Delaunay. Together with Robert she founded Orphism, an art movement of geometric abstraction. During the First World War she lived in Portugal and in Spain. After her return to Paris, she remained close to abstraction in her work and also created fabric designs and theatre costumes. The artist is a member of the French Legion of Honor. Shortly before her death, she donated her printed body of work to the Centre Pompidou in Paris. (tm)
