Sonia Delaunay
I think I actually raised my eyebrows when I saw Ken/@thekingslacker had introduced the prompt for Bee Sewcial this month. It was a person - Sonia Delaunay - an artist I wasn't familiar with. Ken shared a pinboard for us to take inspiration from, so once I perused that, I had a bit of an idea about Sonia's avant-garde style. Color and shape were obviously key.
In my own exploration, my search for cohesiveness in my block felt illusive, yet I still sensed some of Sonia's sensibilities in the arcs and stacks of blocks. My finished block measures 12 1/4" x 25", and even though I'm a tad hesitant with it, Ken and others say I hit the mark. I'll take it.

ReplyDeleteIf you want to see current great modern art look into artist Jane Davies work.
A lot of her work can be seen on Pinterest and she has a .com.
It's fabulous.
