Meet Sonia Delaunay A true pioneer of modernist abstraction, Sonia Delaunay broke with the figurative vocabulary that subordinated colour to subject matter; she placed dynamic colour interaction at the core of her vision. Delaunay helped construct the new modern woman that she herself embodied: equal parts avant-gardist, creative entrepreneur and businesswoman. In 1964, Delaunay became the first living woman artist to have a retrospective at the Louvre.
