Google today celebrate what would be the 127th birthday of Sophie Taeuber-Arp

Who was Sophie Taeuber-Arp?
Born on January 19, 1889, in Davos, Switzerland as Sophie Henriette Gertrude Taeuber, Taeuber-Arp left home at 18 to study textile design in Germany before returning to Zurich in 1915.
Upon returning, Taeuber-Arp began to produce non-representational paintings – these were heavily influenced by her training in textile design.
Around the same time, Taeuber-Arp met French sculptor, painter and collagist Jean (Hans) Arp – the man with whom she would later collaborate with before marrying in 1922.
