DELAUNAY (Sonia). DAMASE (Jacques). The Alphabet of Sonia Delaunay. Comptines by Jacques Damase. Emme Edizioni. Electa Editrice. Milan. 1969 (35,2 x 35,2 cm). In sheets, (1) double ff. with the title, (26) double ff. lithographed in colors, (1) f. of justification of the edition: filled covers of strong white paper illustrated with a composition realized with the first six letters of the alphabet lithographed in colors (Sonia Delaunay), folder and protective slipcase of black cloth. First edition, in very large format, of one of the most beautiful contemporary alphabet books. Twenty-seven original gouaches, as well as the autographed text, by Sonia Delaunay (Ukraine 1885-1979 Paris). The freshness of the compositions gives the measure of the virtuosity with which the artist takes back the motives invented by her. The letters of this alphabet are close to the works "Rhythm and color" of the sixties and "Simultaneous contrasts" of the fifties. We find, in a poster project dated 1916, an illustration of the word "chocolate" similar to the one made here for the letter C. A large double sheet per letter, with the dynamic effect of permanent instability, in primary colors, the text of pearl gray color, written with a brush by the artist, is an integral part of the composition. Limited edition of 180 copies, of which 30 copies numbered from I to XXX, hors commerce, n° 140 signed by Sonia Delaunay and Jacques Damase. In perfect condition, enclosed in a beautiful slipcase, the box mentioned in the justification has never been made.
