A key figure in the 20th-century avant-garde movement, Sonia Delaunay, along with her husband, Robert Delaunay, played a decisive role in the early days of abstraction. The designer also held a prominent place in the world of fashion and decorative arts, fields with which she was closely associated during the interwar period, experimenting with a multitude of media beyond painting: posters, bookbindings, objects, clothing and textiles, furniture, tapestry, and interior design. In this dynamic interweaving of disciplines, where each was enriched by the contributions of the other, Sonia Delaunay, in tune with the modernity of her time, worked to abolish the boundaries between the arts and to invade life with color, in search of a total and universal art.
