“Squares,” by Sonia Delaunay, is an artwork belonging to the Orphism art movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork features an array of vibrantly colored geometric shapes meticulously arranged to create a harmonious composition. Bold hues of red, blue, green, yellow, and black dominate the canvas, intersected by strategic white spaces and patterns that enhance the visual rhythm. The arrangement of squares and other shapes appears both dynamic and balanced, typical of Delaunay’s abstract style, where the interplay of color and form is paramount. The overall effect is a balanced yet lively convergence of colors and shapes that celebrate the Orphist emphasis on color and form to evoke a sense of rhythm and movement.
