Talk:Sonia Delaunay

Rollback
I've reverted this article to a version before the unfinished version with Blaise material (11:43, July 1, 2005). Great material, but needs rewriting to encyclopedic style. --sparkit (talk) July 4, 2005 14:24 (UTC)

Article name
I have moved the article to Sonia Dalaunay- since it is the name she exhibited under, the same all enlight biographies use and if you take google hits as an indicator the name most English speaking people use.--nixie 08:33, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

The article repeatedly refers to a Sonia Delaunay-Terk, but I have found no evidence she ever used that name. Every work I found is either signed Sonia Delaunay or not signed. Everything she published, and everything published about her, refers to Sonia Delaunay. I propose to explain her name changes - first to Terk, possibly to Uhde (evidence?), then to Delaunay and not use the name Delaunay-Terk anymore. Superp (talk) 21:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

1925 Art Déco exposition
I have removed this piece of text: In 1925 she participated in the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (Art Deco) in Paris together with Vadim Meller, Aleksandra Ekster, Nathan Altman and David Shterenberg,

and replaced it with a text about the pavilion Sonia Delaunay had in cooperation with Jacques Heim. For this there are many verifiable sources (see the article). For the alleged cooperation with Meller etc. I have found none. Possibly, what was meant is that Delaunay, Meller, Ekster, etc. all took part in the expo. But not as a group working together.

Sonia Delaunay (November 14, 1885 – December 5, 1979) was NOT Russian-born French artist, She was UKRAINIAN born
She was born in Odessa and spoke Ukrainian She was born Sonia Illinitchna Stern to a Jewish Ukrainian family.

She said that many of the colors she used in her work referred back to the 'pure’ color she remembered from her childhood in Ukraine, and to the bright costumes worn at peasant weddings.

I just hope that some day world will remember that Ukraine was never Russia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.33.157 (talk) 18:02, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Early life (1885–1904)
The "Letters show " editorializing by a WP editor is not reliable proof... editor users here are not a notable source to be quoted. A reliable secondary source is needed/linked for the text to remain in the article. Acabashi (talk) 13:24, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
