Original color lithograph, signed and numbered "HC 21/25" by Sonia Delaunay, preserved in remarkable condition.
This rare work is part of a prestigious edition comprising 75 numbered prints and 25 artist’s proofs (HC). It is also included in the collection of the Centre Pompidou, donated by the artist in 1976. The museum dates its creation to circa 1968-1969, a pivotal period in Delaunay's career.
This lithograph pays homage to the poet and founder of the Dada movement, Tristan Tzara. It brilliantly embodies Sonia Delaunay's artistic approach, where primary forms and colors merge in a simultaneous pursuit of rhythm and visual harmony. Through this composition, the artist evokes the essence of poetry, where the interplay of rhymes and rhythms resonates with the subtle balance of her abstract forms.
Renowned for her precision and high standards in lithographic work, Sonia Delaunay ensured that the chromatic richness of this print was perfectly rendered. Her decision to donate a proof to the Centre Pompidou reflects the significance she attributed to this piece.
As a world-renowned artist and a key figure of abstraction, Sonia Delaunay continues to see her market value rise steadily.
