Today at London's Tate Modern gallery opens the exhibition of the Russian artist, the brightest representatives of the Paris school and overall avant-garde of the first half of the twentieth century Sonia Delaunay. This will be the first such large-scale retrospective of Sonia Delaunay, a native of the city of Gradizhsk the province of Poltava Sarah Ilyinichna (Alieni) stern in the UK. Will feature works by Sonia Delaunay in 60 years of creative activity. During his long life the artist has left his mark in many genres of art.
