The artwork titled “Moteur D’avion, 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. Belonging to the art movement Orphism, this piece is categorized under the design genre and is part of the “Murals for Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne” series.
The artwork features a large mural with an abstract depiction inspired by an airplane engine, accentuated by geometric shapes and vibrant colors. Dominated by hues of yellow, blue, black, green, and pink, the mural integrates mechanical elements with ornamental motifs. A central circular red component stands out, surrounded by simplified, stylized forms, symbolizing mechanical parts. The background includes spirals and circular patterns, adding a dynamic sense of movement and rhythm, characteristic of the Orphism style, which emphasizes pure abstraction and bright colors.
