The work of artist Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979), a Ukrainian expat who lived in Paris, deftly synthesized the radiant Fauvist palette and energetic Cubist forms of her contemporaries. More than 400 of her spirited efforts—from paintings and gouaches to fashion and set design—appear in “Sonia Delaunay: The Colors of Abstraction,” opening October 17 at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Her first major survey in the French capital since 1967, the show also marks 50 years since Delaunay became the first living female artist to have a retrospective at the Louvre.
