About Composition Red, Blue, Black, White

The artwork, titled “Composition Red, Blue, Black, White,” was created by Sonia Delaunay in 1964. It belongs to the Orphism art movement and is categorized as abstract in genre.

The artwork prominently features geometric shapes in a balanced composition, adhering to the principles of the Orphism movement, which emphasizes color and light to convey meaning. The primary elements include a large blue square serving as the background, with two halves of a circle positioned centrally. One half of the circle is divided into red and black semi-circles, while the other half is comprised of two white arcs. The use of vivid and contrasting colors—red, blue, black, and white—creates a sense of dynamic movement and visual interest, characteristic of Delaunay’s distinctive style in abstract art.
