Geometric abstraction as a worldview: artists like Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Sonia Delaunay played an essential part in the development of non-representational art. The volume presents an overview of the evolution of geometric abstract art and takes into account in addition to the applied arts the female perspective of the Global South with promising new discoveries.
Geometric abstraction emerged around the turn of the last century from an attitude that was permeated by renewal, utopia and resistance, and that aimed at the unity of art and life. Colourful, geometric and highly attractive – this comprehensive view of the time between 1914 and the 1970s is lavishly illustrated and relates the narrative from a female, global, historical and contemporary perspective, revealing the dense network between women artists and gallerists.
