The artwork titled “Hélice, Décoration Pour Le Palais De L’Air, Exposition Internationale Des Arts Et Des Techniques Dans La Vie Moderne” was created by Sonia Delaunay in 1937. This piece belongs to the Orphism art movement and falls under the genre of design. It is part of a series of murals Delaunay designed for the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne.
The artwork displays a harmonious and vibrant composition, featuring a large central propeller rendered in an array of luminous colors, echoing the dynamic spirit of the Air Pavilion for which it was created. Surrounding the propeller are abstract mechanical elements and geometric forms, painted in a spectrum of bold and soft hues. The piece reflects Delaunay’s distinctive style, characterized by her use of strong color contrasts and rhythmic patterns, and captures the essence of modern technology and innovation celebrated at the 1937 exhibition.
