In the life of Sonia Delaunay
The whole life1913
The Autumn Salon in Berlin

Guillaume Apollinaire gave the name Orphism to the version of Cubism that Sonia and Robert Delaunay developed in their work.
1914
The First World War catches the Delaunays in Spain
The Delaunays travelled to Spain to stay with friends in Madrid; the outbreak of the First World War found Sonia and Robert in Hondarribia, in the Basque Country, with their son still in Madrid, and they decided not to return to France.

1917
The Russian Revolution cuts off her family's money
The Russian Revolution ended the financial support Sonia received from her family in Russia, and a new source of income was needed: in Madrid she decorated the Petit Casino nightclub and founded Casa Sonia, selling her designs for interiors and fashion, with a branch in Bilbao, and became the centre of a Madrid salon.
1917
Meets Diaghilev in Madrid
The Delaunays met Sergei Diaghilev: Sonia designed costumes for his production of “Cleopatra” (sets by Robert) and for “Aida” in Barcelona. She restored Léon Bakst's burnt sets for Fokine's “Cleopatra” for its showing at the London Coliseum in 1918.
