Simultanism is the strand of Orphism practiced by the Delaunays. Apollinaire felt this use of color brought movement, light and musical qualities to the artwork and therefore referenced the legendary poet and singer of ancient Greek mythology, Orpheus, when naming the movement. Apollinaire was inspired by the work of František Kupka and the Delaunays, who, although channeling the Cubist vision, prioritized color in their work. Orphism is a term originating from 1912 when French poet and art critic Guillaume Apollinaire identified the new style of Cubist painting. The entire set and costume design of Tristan Tzara’s 1923 play Le Cœur à Gaz An illustration for the cover of Vogue in 1926 Costumes for the films Le Vertige directed by Marcel L’Herbier and Le p’tit Parigot, directed by René Le Somptier Furniture for the set of the 1929 film Parce que je t’aime And her textiles label Tissus Delaunay, which sold her designs worldwide.

At the age of seven she went to live with her comparatively wealthy uncle Henri Terk and his wife, Anna, in St Petersburg, Russia. She was born Sonia Illinitchna Stern to a Jewish Ukrainian family. Her exploration of the interaction between colors has created a sense of depth and movement throughout her oeuvre. Alongside her husband, Robert Delaunay, she pioneered the movement Simultanism.
Sonia Delaunay was a multi-disciplinary abstract artist and key figure in the Parisian avant-garde.
