We Will Go Right Up to the Sun

Female Pioneers of Geometric Abstraction

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 in addition to the applied arts takes into account the female perspective of the Global South with promising new discoveries.

description

Geometric abstraction emerged around the turn of the last century from an attitude that was permeated by renewal, utopia, and resistance, and that aimed at the unity of art and life. Colorful, geometric, and highly attractive, this comprehensive view of the art produced between 1914 and the 1970s is lavishly illustrated and relates the narrative from a female, global, historical, and contemporary perspective, revealing the dense network between women artists, gallerists, and critics.
