Sonia Delaunay-Terk was a Russian painter, graphic artist, and designer of hand-printed fabrics and tapestries who was active in Paris in the early twentieth century. She and her husband, fellow painter Robert Delaunay, were associated with the art movement Orphism, a trend within Cubist painting that emphasized color. The term was coined by the poet Guillaume Apollinaire around 1912 to refer to the work of several painters in Paris who created a joyously sensuous art that had a tendency towards abstraction. In the 1930s Delaunay-Terk also became a member of Abstraction-Création, an international school of painters and sculptors who typically employed geometric shapes and forms.
