Image: 53 x 39 - cm Sheet: 65 x 50,5 cm // Totem by Sonia Delaunay, created in 1970, is a lithograph that showcases her signature style of bold geometric abstraction and vibrant color harmonies. The composition is built from overlapping circular and angular shapes, creating a rhythmic, almost musical arrangement. Delaunay’s use of color—reds, yellows, blues, and blacks—interacts dynamically, giving a sense of depth and movement. The piece's title, Totem, suggests a cultural or symbolic reference, and the stacked forms evoke a vertical structure that resembles totemic figures or pillars. Delaunay, a pioneer in abstraction, uses these geometric forms not only as visual elements but as expressions of energy and balance. This limited edition lithograph exemplifies her exploration of color and form, celebrating abstraction’s capacity to convey emotion and rhythm.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
