Relief; Rhythms

The artwork Relief; Rhythms is a painting created by Sonia Delaunay in 1932. Currently, the artwork's home institution and dimensions are unknown.

The painting showcases a dynamic composition dominated by two prominent overlapping circular forms. These forms are adorned with vibrant, concentric rings of color, primarily in shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and black. The rings create a sense of movement and rhythm, drawing the viewer's eye around the composition.

The circular forms are set against a textured, off-white background that resembles plaster or stucco. This textured background adds a tactile quality to the artwork and enhances the three-dimensionality of the circular forms. Two smaller circles, one blue and one white, are positioned near the larger forms, further contributing to the rhythmic arrangement of the composition.
