“Design in the style of Mondrian, possibly for a rug, from ‘Compositions, Colours, Ideas'”, created by Sonia Delaunay in 1931, is a lithographic artwork that belongs to the Orphism art movement and the design genre. The artwork is part of a private collection.
The artwork is characterized by its geometric abstraction, featuring a dynamic arrangement of rectangles in various colors, including shades of red, orange, black, blue, and neutral tones. The composition is reminiscent of the rigid, grid-like structures associated with the works of Piet Mondrian, with an emphasis on balance and harmony achieved through the use of contrasting colors. The rectangular shapes are distributed intricately across the artwork, creating a visually engaging pattern that suggests potential utility in textile design, specifically for a rug. This piece exemplifies Delaunay’s innovative approach to color theory and design, integrating artistic aesthetics with functional art forms.
