SONIA DELAUNAY
Hommage à Stravinsky.

Color lithograph, 1970. 530x553 mm; 21x21 3/4 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 51/100 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression with strong colors.

Delaunay's (1885-1979) lyrical homage to the composer Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), who was also memorialized in a pair of modernist portrait's by the artist's husband, the French painter Robert Delaunay. The Delaunays met Stravinsky in Madrid in 1918, when they were working on the set and costumes for the Ballet Russe production of Cleopatra.
