Sonia Delaunay (November 14, 1885 – December 5, 1979) was a Jewish-French artist. Along with her husband, Robert Delaunay and other artists, she co-founded the art movement of Orphism, which was noted for its use of geometric shapes and strong colors. Her expertise was in painting, stage set design, and textile design. In 1964 she was the first living woman artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre. In 1975, she was named a French Legion of Honor officer.
