Artist Sonia Delaunay (1885-1979) is considered a French artist but she was born Sonia Illinitchna Stern in Odessa, Ukraine. Raised later in St. Petersburg, Russia, her childhood memories of Ukraine remained with her and she often referred back to the ‘pure’ colour and bright costumes of the Ukrainian peasant weddings. These two images are pochoir on paper from her folio Tapis et Tissus (Carpets and Fabrics), written and designed by her in 1929 and in our special collections. -- source link
