Join us in the Shotmeyer Room for a ArtTalk presentation by Janet Mandel on the avant-garde artist Sonia Delaunay. This presentation is part of our celebration of Women's History Month! 

Sonia Delaunay was an avant-garde artist who spent her life experimenting with the language
of color and abstraction. She developed a varied practice, giving equal weight to design and fine
art. While remaining faithful to abstract painting, she created innovative designs in typography
and textile prints. She crafted handmade garments and ready-to-wear fashion and designed
costumes for theater, ballet, and film. She also created tapestries and mosaics as well as cutting
edge interior designs. Born Sara Stern in a Ukrainian shtetl in 1885, she became a crucial
presence in the artistic and intellectual Zeitgeist of 20th Century Paris.
