More colours from Sonia

• 

A few months ago we wrote about the many colours of Sonia Delaunay, who designed clothes that matched the car body. Here’s another picture of her work that gives a good impression of her designs. Sonia and husband Robert Delaunay were fond of fast motorcars and even after the death of Robert in 1941, cars continued to play a role in Sonia’s work. For a retrospective in 1967 she painted a Matra in the many-coloured squares which were so characteristic of her style. In 1979 Sonia created the paintwork on a 1:8 scale-model of a Bugatti Type 35 for an exhibition. And in 1991, twelve years after her death, Marc Nicolosi, the creator of Rétromobile, had a 1:1 Bugatti painted in her style.
