The Creative World of Sonia Delaunay

Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) was part of the historical avant-garde. The exhibition in Ljubljana is the first show devoted to Sonia Delaunay in this part of the world. The exhibited works, on loan from distinguished French cultural institutions, are rarely displayed in public because of their fragility and historic value. From the Musée Zadkine in Paris comes the legendary two-meter-long artist book La Prose du Transsibérien et de la petite Jeanne de France, which Delaunay created in 1913 in collaboration with Blaise Cendrars. The Bibliothèque Nationale de France has loaned 85 works created between 1913 and 1974 — photographs of Delaunay’s theater costumes, sketches for posters, drawings, gouaches, lithographs, etchings, and covers designed for artist books. The Musée de l’Impression sur Étoffes, in Mulhouse, has contributed fashion accessories and fabric patterns, while Delaunay’s graphic plates come from the Saint-Denis Musée d’Art et d’Histoire, her buttons come from Galerie 1900–2000 in Paris and artists book come from Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle.

This exhibition would not have been possible without the extraordinary contribution by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

The exhibition catalogue Simultanke, containing texts by Tanja Mastnak, Guy Schraenen, and Petra Timmer, will be published in both Slovene and English.
