Sonia Delaunay made "Swimsuits" as a study of color and form. Born in Ukraine and working in Paris, Delaunay was a key figure in the avant-garde, exploring abstraction through painting, textiles, and fashion. "Swimsuits" embodies the spirit of the interwar period, a moment when women's fashion began to reflect newfound freedoms and a departure from traditional constraints. Here, Delaunay captures the modern woman: confident, athletic, and liberated. The geometric patterns and bold colors resonate with a sense of optimism and energy, echoing the rapid social and cultural changes of the era. Delaunay's designs broke from conventional representations, proposing a new visual language of modernity that celebrated movement and dynamism. These swimsuits weren’t just garments, but a means of challenging traditional notions of femininity.
