CHARLES DELAUNAY (1911-1983) MANOLO BEL ET SES MUCHACHOS. 1939. 60 1/4x45 1/4 inches, 153x115 cm. Condition B+: restoration and overpainting in bottom right corner; tear through left margin, affecting image; minor restoration along sharp vertical and horizontal folds. Manolo Bel toured Europe with his Afro-Cuban band before the Second World War. Combining his love of jazz and his artistic talents, Delaunay produces a strong and appealing image. With its photomontage and bright colors, it is a vivid invitation to listen to the son Cubano.
