Formes Circulaires 1930

Robert Delaunay (French artist, 1885 – 1941) Poster of Palazzo Grassi- Press Gruppo Editoriale Fabbri SpA. Exhibition organized by © Solomon R. Guggenheim museum, New York. Robert Delaunay chose the view into the ambulatory of the Parisian Gothic church Saint-Séverin as the subject of his first series of paintings, in which he charted the modulations of light streaming through the stained-glass windows and the resulting perceptual distortion of the architecture. He said that the Saint-Séverin theme in his work marked “a period of transition from Cézanne to Cubism.” Translation of the small type reads, “The Thannhauser Collection at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. From van Gogh to Picasso, from Kandinsky to Pollock The path of modern art”
