 | | Like Marc Chagall, Nataliya Goncharova and her lifelong companion Mikhail Larionov, Sonia Delaunay emigrated from Russia to Paris in the first years of the twentieth century, joining Picaso, Matisse, Braque, Rouault, and Vlaminck in the remaking of art in the early moments of the Post-Impressionist era. |
