Additional Information

Sophie Taeuber-Arp was very interested in architecture, and by the late 1920s was working within that sphere, notably designing the entrance, tearoom and bars at the Café Aubette. She was also a keen traveller, and the photographs from her trips again demonstrate her fascination with architecture. This painting is another example ­– a semi abstract piece in gouache and pencil on paper, it shows the iconic cityscape of Siena, a city in the Tuscany region of central Italy.

Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889–1943) was an artist but also a dancer, designer, puppet maker, architect and editor. A true pioneer of modern art, she became a teacher after studying art and dance and later taught others how to design patterns for textiles. She ‘lived abstraction’, and became one of the most important concrete and geometric abstract artists. Responsible for co-founding the dada art movement, Tauber-Arp’s way with colours and shapes unlocked new possibilities in art, costume and interior design.
