Sonia Delaunay made this poster and card for her solo exhibition at the Parisian Galerie Bing in 1964.She and her husband, Robert Delaunay (d. 1941) had sold works through the dealer Bing since the1930s, and she had had an earlier solo show at the gallery in 1953. Arriving in Paris from StPetersburg in 1905, Delaunay met many important artistic figures including Pablo Picasso, GeorgesBraque, Maurice de Vlaminck, and her future husband Robert Delaunay. With Robert, she developedthe abstract painterly style of Orphism, which she pursued throughout her career. Here, bold colourcontrasts and simple abstract forms are employed in their most basic form to create graphic images toadvertise her exhibition.
