Abstraction and the Applied Arts in the Artistic Production of Sonia Delaunay, Bice Lazzari, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp

with Flavia Frigeri

Sonia Delaunay was a pioneer of abstraction who explored the full potential of colors and their combinations, and the effect of refracted light. A multifaceted artist, she experimented with textiles and tapestries, as well as abstract clothing and furniture. For this Ukranian artist art should be part of everyone’s daily life, which is why her artistic production was so varied.

Bice Lazzari and Sophie Taeuber-Arp's artistic trajectories were similar. They dedicated their lives to creating abstract designs for objects for daily use as well as for works on canvas. The lecture will explore these tree women artists' abstract language, and how they brough art into everyone’s daily lives.
