IN A FLAP ABOUT FABRIC

This is going to be a plug for a fellow writer.  A friend of mine forwarded me a blog and I thought it was so fabulous that I had to write about it and the subject matter.  So all of the following images are from "Habitually Chic". 

At the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, there is an exhibit of Sonia Delaunay's works.  She was primarily an abstract painter who has had a hand in many types of projects such as graphics, theatre and film, interiors and textiles.  This exhibit focuses on her designs from the 1920's. 


    


    


     


    

It's hard to believe that such vibrant colours and vivid patterns can be associated with roaring 20's fashions.  It's nice to see that this visionary woman could feel free to be so bold.

Sonia Delaunay's works are on view until June 5th.  I would love to take a big bite of the big apple and stroll through this amazing exhibit sometime soon.
