Sonia Delaunay: Nature morte portugaise (1916)

SONIA DELAUNAY (1885-1979), Nature morte portugaise, signed and numbered ‘SONIA DELAUNAY 564’ (on the stretcher), oil and wax on paper laid down on canvas, 26 1⁄8 x 37 1⁄4 in. (66.4 x 94.6 cm.), Painted in Portugal in 1916, Image Source: Christie’s

“A joyful testament to Sonia Delaunay’s fruitful and happy years on the Iberian peninsula, Nature morte portugaise is a powerful expression of colour, movement and light that immerses the viewer in the raucous, sensual atmosphere of the sun-drenched Portuguese marketplace. Painted in the challenging new medium of wax, this work is a superb example of the pictorial experimentation that led the artist and her husband Robert Delaunay to attain new means of expression during their exile in southern Europe, taking inspiration from their new surroundings to blur the lines between the figurative and the abstract, creating a veritable visual tour de force.”
