“Composition 19” is an artwork created by Sonia Delaunay around 1930, falling under the Orphism art movement and characterized by its design genre. The artwork features an intricate composition of geometric and repetitive patterns rendered in various colors and shapes. The central area consists of a diamond shape filled with alternating crescent shapes in black, red, and green. Surrounding this central motif, different quadrants of the artwork are filled with distinct patterns. The upper right quadrant features a pattern of green and white ovals against a black background, while the upper left shows a simpler pattern of short, repetitive black lines. The lower left quadrant displays red teardrop shapes with black surrounds, and the lower right is filled with a green grid-like pattern. The overall effect is a vibrant and dynamic design, reflecting the principles of Orphism through the use of color and abstract forms.
