Sonia Delaunay ( 1885 - 1979 ) born Sarah Llintchna Stern, was a Jewish Russian born French artist, who spent most of her working life in Paris. She was formally trained in Russia and Germany before moving to France and expanding her practice to include textile, fashion, and set design. She co-founded The Orphism Art Movement, known for its use of strong colors and geometric shapes, with her artist husband Robert Delaunay and others. She was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at The Louvre Museum in Paris in 1964, and in 1975 was named an officer of The French Legion of Honor. Delaunay's work in Modern design included concepts of Geometric Abstraction, and the integration of furniture, fabrics, wall coverings, and clothing into her oeuvre of art practices.

Jacques Damase ( 1930 - 2014 ) was a French publisher, art historian, and venerable gallery owner. He created his publishing house at the age of 17, making him the youngest publisher in the world of the time. He published the works of Jean Cocteau, Jean Paul Satre, Paul Eluard, and Charlie Chaplin. His own books included studies on the art works of Braque, Chagall, Picasso, calder, Max Ernst, and Sonia and Robert Delaunay.

His famous gallery in Paris exhibited the artworks of Le Corbusier, Jean Cocteau, Jim Dine, hand Arp, and Sonia Delaunay among others.
