Artist Sonia Delaunay set up the society along with other artists working in an abstract style. The name reflects the fundamental idea that abstract art is a new reality because it does not refer to or imitate any existing reality.
After the interruption of the Second World War it was re-established in 1946, again with the help of Sonia Delaunay, and continues today. It provided in the post-war era the same focus for the purest tendencies in abstract art that ´¡²ú²õ³Ù°ù²¹³¦³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô-°ä°ùé²¹³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô had pre-war.
