69 - Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979)

Sonia Delaunay (1885–1979) Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, 1967 Lithograph on paper, signed lower right and numbered 55/75 lower left 64.5 x 50 cm Condition report: Framed This lithograph was created by the artist for her major historical retrospective held at the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris in 1967. The work incorporates stylized typography at the heart of a composition punctuated by simultaneous contrasts and the interweaving of brightly colored geometric blocks of color. True to the theories on light and the dynamism of color that she co-developed within the Simultaneist movement, this iconic print links graphic art to the history of the artist’s major exhibitions and attests to the significant institutional recognition of her work during the 1960s.
