The Research On Sonia Delaunay's Simultaneism Art

The style change of artistic works is a direct embodiment of society,history,culture as well as science and technology.By the time of the late 19 th century or the early 20 th century,when people had begun to say no to those traditions and concrete,an extraordinary modern revolution was about to approach quietly.Among such a revolution,Cubism is undoubtedly a more thorough one.Simultaneism,with French female artist Sonia as its representative,is a branch of Cubism.Under the influence of the big social transformation then,i.e.Einstein's relativity,Poincaré's four-dimensional space and Bergson's continuous duration of time,the Simultaneism art created by Sonia reversed the traditional spatial conception that observer formed visually,overthrew people's evaluation criteria for value and established a brand new judgment system.Simultaneism is more than an outcome of social thought trend at that time and it also formulates its unique abstract language,i.e.the simultaneous contrast between color and abstract geometric shape.Besides,Sonia introduced space into temporal expression to differentiate from cubism in which multi-perspective picture was reconstructed into the same space to create a unique temporal-spatial scene.The thesis takes Sonia Delaunay's Simultaneism art that has temporal concept included as research object to explore the principle of simultaneous color contrast among Sonia's works.By virtue of the Delaunays'(a wife and husband)expansion of the artistic abstraction and color expression of Simultaneism,Simultaneism remains an art school that has been attached importance by artistic researchers,though Simultaneism is not a big school.What's more,Sonia enjoyed obvious cross-border consciousness.Specifically,Sonia not only established herself in painting but also made huge contribution to costume,case and bag,furniture,textile and the illustration in books or magazines.This is why this female artist has been bowed down and worshiped by a great number of designers.Sonia Delaunay succeeded in creating a temporal effect for light when light is expressed spatially by means of the special change of dark and light color gradation,bright and dark tone,warm and cool iridescence.In this way,Sonia successfully introduced temporal concept into painting,reflecting the value view transformation,which resulted from the advance of science and technology as well as the new exploration in philosophy and mathematics,etc.,of the Western modern society and the huge shift of temporal and spatial concept in the whole society.
