Modern Masters Tapestries proudly showcases its remarkable collection of tapestries created by the acclaimed avant-garde artist Sonia Delaunay. Didier Marien, one of the first art dealers to recognize the significance of Delaunay’s pioneering work, played a crucial role in establishing her recognition. The Modern Masters Tapestries Collection showcases the most significant and visually striking Sonia Delaunay tapestries, each a dazzling testament to her innovative use of color and form that continually redefines our perception of art.
Sonia Delaunay was a multidisciplinary artist formally trained in Russia and Germany before relocating to France, where she expanded her practice to encompass textile, fashion, and set design. She was a member of the School of Paris and co-founded the Orphism art movement, known for its bold colors and geometric shapes, alongside her husband, Robert Delaunay. Sonia Delaunay’s pioneering explorations of color and form were instrumental in developing abstract art in the early 20th century.
Sonia Delaunay tapestries stand out for their bold use of vibrant colors and geometric shapes. Each element of every tapestry is meticulously arranged to form a rhythmic harmony and balanced composition, showcasing Sonia Delaunay’s keen sense of design. One tapestry in particular stands out above the rest, Monumental II. This incredible tapestry perfectly embodies Delaunay’s distinctive art style and is the culmination of her work.
Each tapestry is sold in impeccable condition with its original bolducs and comes with an authentication certificate penned by a renowned expert, ensuring the provenance and authenticity of these exquisite artworks.
Initially inspired by quilt patterns, Delaunay eventually incorporated the stylistic concerns of Cubism, Fauvism, and Futurism into her bright, geometric paintings and prints. It was only natural that she should come to tapestry, which allows the most complex composition to be integrated into the work. There is probably no contemporary painter who has, as well as Sonia Delaunay, assimilated the properties of fabrics to make them translate the color as matter and texture as well as a flat surface. No one was better prepared to express herself in terms of weaving and to project her thoughts onto the walls in this language that is more supple, warmer than that of painting, and of equal strength and richness. Sonia Delaunay’s tapestries are emblematic of her textile designs and fashion patterns, typically using geometric shapes, including circles, triangles, and rectangular blocks of color. Each element of every tapestry is meticulously arranged to form a rhythmic harmony and balanced composition, showcasing Sonia Delaunay’s keen sense of design.
Sonia Delaunay’s artistic expertise spanned diverse mediums, though she was particularly renowned for her innovative textile works – including fashion fabrics, blankets, furniture coverings, and theater set designs. Her creations found application across both decorative and industrial realms. Here at Modern Masters Tapestries, we are proud to offer her pieces, which serve not merely as investments or collection additions but as cohesive, purposeful elements that enhance the aesthetic and functionality of interior spaces.

1. Wall Hangings: The most common and effective way to display a tapestry is by hanging it on a wall. It can be a statement piece above a sofa, bed, or fireplace.
2. Canopies: Elevate your space by hanging textiles from the ceiling, either suspending them overhead or draping them down to the walls. This creates a canopy effect, transforming a room into a dreamy bed or cozy sitting area.
3. Room Dividers: Use a large tapestry as a room divider to create distinct spaces within an open floor plan. This adds privacy while maintaining an open and airy feel.
4. Headboards: For a unique and luxurious touch, use a tapestry as a headboard in your bedroom. It creates a stunning backdrop and adds a sense of grandeur.
