Original lithograph in colors on wove paper - Hand-signed in pencil // Rose des Vents by Sonia Delaunay is a 1972 limited edition lithograph that showcases her dynamic use of color and geometry. The composition is an abstract arrangement of circular and curved shapes in vibrant hues of red, green, blue, purple, and black, all intersecting and overlapping. The bold, rhythmic use of color creates a sense of movement and energy, reminiscent of her work within the Orphism movement, which emphasized color theory and abstraction. The layered, rotating forms evoke the idea of a compass rose, guiding the viewer through the artwork’s vibrant pathways. The piece is hand-signed in pencil by the artist, adding a personal touch to this striking example of modern abstraction.

What is Orphism?
Orphism is an abstract style of painting influenced by Cubism, developed by Sonia and Robert Delaunay. The term was coined around 1912 by French poet Guillaume Apollinaire to differentiate the Delaunays' work from Cubism, emphasizing their focus on vibrant color and light. The name Orphism is inspired by the Greek musician Orpheus, symbolizing the movement's lyrical and harmonious qualities.
