The biographical information on Delunay is from the Tate Modern website and from the Art Story website both curated by artists and educators. ) REVIEW: Welcome back to FAME! We wrapped up 2018 with a special FAME lesson that looked at not one artist but a group of Currier & Ives artists and a special technique that celebrated American life especially around the holidays. Who can tell me about the Lithography artists? Currier and Ives developed the process of lithography and were famous for sending artitsts to the scenes of Grant Wood major news events and also for their scenic Christmas cards. Before that we studied the Grant Wood, another Background, American artist, who was famous for his painting of hard working American farming people. In fact, it’s so famous Midground & people love to change the people in the painting to everything from StarWars characters to balloon animals. Do you Foreground remember what was in the background? farmhouse midground? farmer and daughter foreground? pitchfork. Do you remember what this painting is called and why? American Gothic from the style of the window in the farmhouse ARTIST: Sonia Today we’re going overseas and learning about a female artist that you probably have never heard of but whose Delaunay (1885–1979) vibrant colors and geometric designs will inspire you! Born in Ukraine Raised in Russia Our artist today is Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979), a Ukrainian-born French painter, textile designer, fashion and Avant-Garde costume designer. An important figure in the Parisian avant-garde, Sonia brought extraordinary inventiveness to Paris Artist everything she created. Who was she? Sonia was born Sara Élievna Stern, the youngest of three children, to Inspired by impoverished Jewish parents in Odessa, Ukraine. At five, she was sent to live with her mother's well-off brother, Henri Terk, and his wife in St. Petersburg, Russia. She received a good education, had access to great art collections, and color and traveled Europe spending summers in Finland. At sixteen, Delaunay's art teacher noticed her talent and encouraged design of her uncle and aunt to send her to Germany for further art training. peasant costumes Nevertheless, her childhood memories of Ukraine remained with her and she often referred back to the ‘pure’ color ORPHISM: and bright costumes of the Ukrainian peasant weddings. When her son was born she had the idea of making a CUBIST style blanket composed of bits of fabric like those she had seen in the houses of Russian peasants. When it was finished, prioritized the arrangement of the pieces of material seemed to her to evoke cubist conceptions like those of another FAME COLOR artist, Pablo Picasso, and she decided to apply the same process to other objects and paintings. She became known for this new style of cubism called Orphism practiced by artists who believed color was the most important aspect of creating art. This style was called Orphism by a poet who felt that when artists used color in this way they brought brought movement, light and musical qualities to the artwork and therefore referenced the legendary poet and Art Elements: LINE & singer of ancient Greek mythology, Orpheus. COLOR One of the key art elements we talk about in FAME is COLOR. Show students color wheel from portfolio. When colors COMPLIMENTA are across the color wheel from one another, such as blue and yellow they are called COMPLIMENTARY colors. These RY COLOR colors complement each other, or make each other look good. For example, you may remember Vincent Van Gogh’s Use of COLOR Starry Night, from last year’s FAME and the way that the yellow stars seemed to shimmer in the deep blue night sky. creates rhythm, Sonia also believed in the magic of color in art. When creating her compositions she was interested in the way colors motion and look different depending on the colors around them. For example, grey will look lighter on a dark background than it depth does on a light one. She aimed to create rhythm, motion and depth through overlapping patches of vibrant hues. Influenced by Picasso and Let’s look at some examples of Sonia Delaunay’s work and see what I mean.

Largely secondary colours – (plum) red . Blue (ultramarine) . Yellow (mustardy) . Subtle contrasts . Rainbow palette . Appear to be spontaneous but carefully organised and balanced. e.g. red Geometry in the movement – circular but last quarter is different in colour and shape giving a fixed or static feel. “O” drops down, D and B also move. The “U” is like a wineglass (full). Two “N”s are Russian(?) Painting is joyful, happy, carefree (and yet so careful and contrived) celebratory, a sense of kicking up the heels. It is also hopeful, energetic, creating a feeling of change and excitement. The word Dubonnet is rhythmic. The jingle for the drink was Du beau, du bon, dubonnet…….. We do not really need to know what the word means as it is not really the focus. The painting is not a poster but it may well be an advertisement for the Delaunay’s studio itself – Aetelier “Simultane” which they established. They were intrigued by the notion of simultaneity – esp. of colours and the effects achieved. (Seurat and mixed colours). Friends and colleagues created the Orphism movement around them but they did not accept this label. Sonia came to Paris from Russia in 1905 as a young woman still in her teens. She had been brought up by a wealthy Uncle in St.Petersburg. In 1908 she made a marriage of convenience to a gay art dealer, Wilhem Uhde, who introduced her to “everyone” in the avant garde.

Flügel, Thorstein Veblen, Georg Simmel, Sonia Delaunay. ABSTRACT: This paper attempts to contextualize Mondrian‘s few writings on fashion within his larger interest in oppositions and the work of early fashion theorists, who similarly framed dress in terms of binaries and antonyms. Like Mondrian, early fashion theorists were invested in ideas of opposition and universality, similarities that suggest that Mondrian may find conceptual allies in the first generation of fashion theorists, particularly J. C. Flügel, Thorstein Veblen, and Georg Simmel. Mondrian‘s largely overlooked approach to fashion theory sheds light on the understanding of his complex aesthetic philosophy, and, while much has been written about Mondrian‘s influence on fashion, there remains a need to navigate Mondrian‘s own inspiration by fashion. /// Piet Mondrian‘s legacy has escaped the historical limits of his own discipline—his influence has been felt in nearly every sphere of the visual arts, seemingly by osmosis. He has had a demonstrable visual impact on graphic design, home decor, and fashion, and his presence can be experienced by any hapless shopper who finds himself in a department store surrounded by handbags decorated with divided planes of red, yellow, and blue. Mondrian‘s uncompromisingly abstract, neoplastic style has long oscillated between high art and popular culture (Troy 2006: 15-36), and when one is determined to find an elegant intersection between Mondrian and design, the most frequently cited example is that of his influence on fashion.

  • Sonia Delaunay's Yellow Nude, 1908
    © COPYRIGHT by Laura Ryan 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SUBVERTING ORIENTALISM AND PRIMITIVISM? SONIA DELAUNAY'S YELLOW NUDE, 1908 BY Laura Ryan ABSTRACT In this thesis, I demonstrate that Yellow Nude includes a number of pointed references to historic stereotypes and contemporaneous tropes that embroil the artist’s identity in the primitivist ideologies she apparently appropriates. I first identify the background design within the painting as that of a turn of the century ikat textile, with Central Asian, Jewish, and Russian production histories that mimic the biographic transnationality of Delaunay herself. Delaunay therefore invites viewers to conflate the figure in the painting with the woman who made it, capitalizing on the perceived “exoticism” of her “primitive” cultural upbringing. From this perspective, the featured figure’s mask-like face, disjunctive body, and gender ambiguity further implicate, interrogate, and perhaps undermine international fascination with the “primitive.” I argue that in Yellow Nude Sonia Delaunay both recreated the popular type of the exotic foreign woman and subtly undercut the ideologies behind the genre through specific references likely legible to those who shared her background. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ......................................................................................................... iv INTRODUCTION: THE VANGUARD NUDE,

Sa proximité avec Robert Delaunay a pourtant souvent oblitéré l’extrême richesse de ses recherches. Cette exposition première rétrospective française d’envergure consacrée exclusivement à l’artiste propose de relire cet œuvre dans sa globalité de la peinture à la mode au design et à l’architecture. Cette rétrospective de près de 400 œuvres s’attache à montrer l’approche originale de la couleur développée par l’artiste à partir d’une sélection de ses premiers portraits, peintures et dessins. Soulignant l’importance de ses origines russes, l’exposition mets en lumière l’implication de Sonia Delaunay dans les arts appliqués et son rôle, majeur, dans les débuts de l’abstraction ainsi que sa place spécifique au sein des avant-gardes européennes . Les activités développées pendant l’entre-deux-guerres dans les domaines de la mode et du design font l’objet d’une présentation conséquente et de reconstitutions inédites. L’exposition réunit un ensemble exceptionnel de peintures monumentales de 1937, et insiste également sur le rôle clé de l’artiste, « passeur » entre la génération des pionniers de l’abstraction et celle des abstraits de l’après-guerre : sont ainsi évoqués les participations de Sonia Delaunay aux Salons des Réalités Nouvelles et aux expositions du groupe Espace, mais aussi la présence de l’artiste au sein de la galerie Denise René et les nombreux projets d’édition développés dès les années 1950.

  • Cubism Was One of the First Truly Modern Movements to Emerge in Art
    QUICK VIEW: Synopsis Cubism was one of the first truly modern movements to emerge in art. It evolved during a period of heroic and rapid innovation between Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. The movement has been described as having two stages: 'Analytic' Cubism, in which forms seem to be 'analyzed' and fragmented; and 'Synthetic' Cubism, in which newspaper and other foreign materials such as chair caning and wood veneer, are collaged to the surface of the canvas as 'synthetic' signs for depicted objects. The style was significantly developed by Fernand Léger and Juan Gris, but it attracted a host of adherents, both in Paris and abroad, and it would go on to influence the Abstract Expressionists, particularly Willem de Kooning. Key Points • Analytic Cubism staged modern art's most radical break with traditional models of representation. It abandoned perspective, which artists had used to order space since the Renaissance. And it turned away from the realistic modeling of figures and towards a system of representing bodies in space that employed small, tilted planes, set in a shallow space. Over time, Picasso and Braque also moved towards open form - they pierced the bodies of their figures, let the space flow through them, and blended background into foreground. Some historians have argued that its innovations represent a response to the changing experience of space, movement, and time in the modern world. • Synthetic Cubism proved equally important and influential for later artists. Instead of relying on depicted shapes and forms to represent objects, Picasso and Braque began to explore the use of foreign objects as abstract signs.

  • The Orpheu Generation and the Avant-‐‑Garde: Intersecting Literature and the Visual Arts
    The Orpheu Generation and the Avant-Garde: Intersecting Literature and the Visual Arts Patrícia Silva* Keywords Orpheu, Orpheu generation, Avant-garde, Cubism, Futurism, Orphism, Intersectionism, Sensationism. Abstract Considering the literary and artistic production of key figures from the Orpheu generation, this essay examines their transnational links to counterparts in the European avant-garde through acquaintance and epistolary networks. More specifically, it does so by focusing on the intersections between literature and the visual arts in works by writers and artists and the periodicals in which they published between 1915 and 1917, to argue that their aesthetic hybridity reflects the experimentalism in the arts of this period animated by the goal of creating “the total work of art”, which is central to European modernism and actively practised by the Portuguese modernists. Palavras-chave Orpheu, Geração de Orpheu, Avant-garde, Cubismo, Futurismo, Orfismo, Interseccionismo, Sensacionismo. Resumo Considerando a produção literária e artística de figuras centrais da geração de Orpheu, este ensaio examina as relações transnacionais que estas estabeleceram com os seus contrapartes na vanguarda europeia por meio de redes de familiaridade e epistolares. Mais especificamente, fá-lo ao focar as intersecções entre a literatura e as artes visuais nas obras destes escritores e artistas e nos periódicos em que publicavam entre 1915 e 1917, arguindo que o seu hibridismo estético reflete o experimentalismo nas artes deste período animado pelo fim de criar “a obra de arte total”, que preside ao modernismo europeu e foi ativamente praticado pelos modernistas portugueses. * Center for Social Studies, University of Coimbra & Queen Mary, University of London.
