Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in New York City, Colour Moves focuses not only on abstract painter and colourist Sonia Delaunays art but also her avant-garde fashion designs from her own Atelier Simultané in Paris during the 1920s as well as textiles she designed for the Metz & Co Department store in Amsterdam in the 1930s. Applying her talents and theories to all areas of visual expression, including graphics, interiors, theatre and film, fashion and textiles, a trademark of Delaunays work is the sense of movement and rhythm created by the simultaneous contrasts of certain colours. The book features authoritative essays by Matilda McQuaid, Matteo de Leeuw-de Monti and Petra Timmer, accompanied by reproductions of over 250 of Delaunays paintings, drawings, textiles and garments with correlating designs, fashion illustrations and period photographs.

A wonderful tribute to an inspiring designer. Of course, could do with MORE pictures, but it's a well put together book, with good illustrations.

The book was bought for my niece who is in art college and she loved it. The colour pictures were very good and showed the designs very clearly.

I got this as a gift from my mom's boyfriend. I absolutely love it. Definitely a nice book to give to an artistic student or someone who appreciates art, specifically fashion/print based. The photos in here are amazing.
