With huge thanks to the Archives françaises du film, CNC, we have just added a beautifully restored ‘Sonia Delaunay’, film to our programme at Palazzo Grassi. This rare fashion film is an exquisite showcase of Sonia Delaunay’s ‘Simultaneous’ dresses and fabrics, quite possibly made at the artist’s Parisian studio and home at 19 Boulevard Malesherbes.
Dating around 1926-7 and filmed using the tricolor additive Keller-Dorian process (later also known as ‘Kodacolor cine film’), the film presents Delaunay’s geometric designs in rich colours. Read about our collaboration with Palazzo Grassi here. (Images courtesy CNC)
