Work and Life
1941:After Robert’s death, Sonia lived with Hans and Sophie ARP at Grasse and then at Toulouse, France.
1911:Developing a style that was called Orphism, a movement that gave primacy to colour over form, Robert and Sonia were leading lights within the Orphists, a group based in Paris, France.
1910:She met Robert DELAUNAY, whose mother was a patron of UHDE’s gallery. Robert and Sonia were married as soon as UHDE graciously arranged for a divorce.
1905:A marriage to the German collector and dealer, Wilhelm UHDE, allowed her to remain in Paris, France, rather than return to her family, and furthered her education in the business of art.
