Pure wool carpet - Artcurial editions // Carrés Magique by Sonia Delaunay, created around 1980, is a vibrant tapestry that reflects the artist’s signature exploration of color, rhythm, and geometry. This wool carpet, produced by Artcurial editions, is a stunning representation of Delaunay’s abstract style, where squares and rectangles in shades of blue, yellow, black, and cream interlock to create a dynamic, almost musical composition. The repetitive geometry of the squares evokes a sense of movement and energy, a hallmark of Delaunay’s work, which often sought to bring art into everyday objects. The bold color contrasts, along with the soft texture of the wool, make this tapestry both visually striking and tactilely inviting. This piece captures Delaunay’s vision of integrating art and design, blending fine art with functionality in a timeless modernist approach.

What is Réalités Nouvelles?
Réalités Nouvelles means new realities and refers to an exhibiting society founded in 1939 in Paris by Sonia Delaunay. The Salon des Réalités Nouvelles was dedicated to promoting abstract art, which it considered to be a new reality because it does not imitate the existing physical world. The movement emphasized that abstract art creates its own reality, independent of the external world, and played a significant role in the development and recognition of abstract art in the mid-20th century.
