We Will Go Right Up to the Sun (Bilingual edition)
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, aiming 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. It reveals the dense network between women artists and gallerists.
We Will Go Right Up to the Sun (Bilingual edition) embodies these themes, offering an immersive experience into the vibrant world of geometric abstraction.
