Sonia Delaunay Fashion and Fabrics by Jacques Damase

Sonia Delaunay Fashion and Fabrics by Jacques Damase

The Russian artist Sonia Delaunay, who with her husband Robert Delaunay was a leading light of the Cubist splinter movement, Orphism, branched out after the First World War into a distinctive career of her own. This book features some of Delaunays original designs and fabric samples.

'The jewel-like colours of her brilliant geometric designs are lavishly displayed, together with photographs, sketches and a text that explores her wide range of influence' - Independent on Sunday
'Celebrates Delaunay's work both in its sumptuous colour plates and in a lucid and intelligent text … Delaunay now has the fine book that she deserves to honour her contribution to fashion' - The International Herald Tribune
'For liveliness and inventiveness alone, Delaunay deserves a place in the art-history books.. her designs vibrate on the pages' - Vogue

Described by De Chirico as a ‘publisher–poet,’ Jacques Damase published the work of Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul Eluard and Charlie Chaplin; Jean Louis Barrault’s first book on the theatre; and the first book on Braque’s sculpture. In 1949 he became editor of the review Labyrinthe. His own books included studies on the works of Jacques Callot, Braque, Chagall and Picasso, as well as the life and art of Sonia Delaunay. From 1964 until Delaunay’s death, Damase was her publisher; he was also responsible for the exhibitions of her works in all media.
