Sonia / Robert Delaunay (1885 - 1941)

「她是一位傑出的女性。
~德勞內是一位非凡的女性：藝術家、企業家、母親、賢妻良母，也是一位先驅。
以下是她克服重重困難所取得的一些成就。
索妮亞和她的丈夫羅伯特曾經歷過經濟困境，尤其是在第一次世界大戰期間，這迫使他們逃離法國，前往西班牙和葡萄牙。為了養家糊口，她設計紡織品、服裝和室內裝飾，為她日後在時尚和設計領域的成功奠定了基礎。儘管她與羅伯特共同發展了同時主義和奧菲主義藝術運動，但最初的大部分功勞都歸於羅伯特，這反映了當時女性在藝術界普遍面臨的困境。
~1918年至1935年間，她很少作畫，而是專注於育兒和支持丈夫的事業。 1921年，她在巴黎開設了一家時裝店，吸引了像電影明星格洛麗亞·斯旺森這樣的魅力客戶。她的布料設計廣受歡迎，促成了她於1924年與雅克·埃爾姆的合作，以及與梅茲公司的長期合作。在此期間，她還與詩人特里斯坦·查拉一起探索受達達主義啟發的「服裝詩」。 1937年巴黎世博會期間，這對夫妻受邀裝飾兩座展館。這標誌著索尼婭重返繪畫領域，她的作品廣受好評。
~1941年羅伯特過世後，她靠著出售兩人的作品維持生計。身為一名出生於俄羅斯的猶太女性，生活在納粹佔領下的法國，她時時刻刻面臨著危險，不得不頻繁搬遷以躲避逮捕。有一次在戛納，當被問及她的猶太血統時，她毫不退讓，最終成功登上火車，並逃脫了抓捕。儘管戰爭殘酷無情，她依然堅韌不拔，後來因其藝術貢獻而獲得認可。

Here are some of her accomplishments, despite the obstacles she faced. Sonia & her husband, Robert, experienced financial struggles, especially during World War I, forcing them to flee France for Spain & Portugal. To support their family, she designed textiles, costumes, and interiors, laying the foundation for her later success in fashion & design. Despite co-developing Simultanism, and the Orphism art movement, much of the credit initially went to Robert, reflecting the broader struggle of women in the art world.~During the period 1918 to 1935, she painted little, focusing on parenting & supporting her husband's career. She opened a Paris fashion shop in 1921, attracting glamorous clients, like moviestar Gloria Swanson. Her fabric designs gained popularity, leading to a partnership with Jacques Herm in 1924, as well as a long-term collaboration with Metz & Co. During this time she also explored Dada-inspired "dress-poems" with poet Tristan Tzara. For the Paris Exposition in 1937, the couple was asked to decorate two buildings. This marked Sonia's return to painting, and her work was very well received.~After Robert’s death in 1941, she survived by selling both their works. As a Russian-born Jewish woman in Nazi-occupied France, she faced constant danger, frequently relocating to avoid arrest. Once, in Cannes, she stood her ground when questioned about her Jewish heritage, she succeeded in boarding her train thus escaping capture. Despite the war’s horrors, she remained resilient, later gaining recognition for her artistic contributions.
