Figures in an InteriorFigures in an Interior is a work by the Ukrainian and French artist Sonia Delaunay. The artist, with her husband Robert Delaunay, was a co-founder of the Orphism art movement, which is characterized by its use of strong, vibrant colors and geometric shapes to create a sense of rhythm and movement. Sonia Delaunay's work often blurred the lines between fine art and decorative arts, and she applied her artistic principles to various media, including paintings, textile designs, and interior decoration. The painting shown is a great example of her style, with two abstracted figures in a dynamically colored and patterned room. The search results include mentions of a similar work, "Figures in an Interior, colour screenprint" by Sonia Delaunay, and other Delaunay paintings with figures in interiors.
