Ariella Budick of the Financial Times penned a glowing review of Sonia Delaunay: Living Art at Bard Graduate Center Gallery. The “spectacular new survey … is at once exuberant and weighty,” Budick writes. “Delaunay spent most of the 20th century producing furniture, playing cards, textiles, theatre costumes, fashion, paintings, mosaics and her own persona, all of them saturated in kaleidoscopic hues.” The show follows Delaunay’s radical artistic vision through a dramatic life, across Europe and two world wars, to later recognition as a national treasure in France.
