Sonia Delaunay’s Totem, 1970 lithograph with overlapping geometric shapes in red, yellow, blue, and black, forming a rhythmic composition.

Image: 53 x 39 - cm Sheet: 65 x 50,5 cm A tiny hole in the top and bottom margins and a few tiny snags on the design. Otherwise in very good condition. // Totem by Sonia Delaunay, created in 1970, is a lithograph that showcases her signature style of bold geometric abstraction and vibrant color harmonies. The composition is built from overlapping circular and angular shapes, creating a rhythmic, almost musical arrangement. Delaunay’s use of color—reds, yellows, blues, and blacks—interacts dynamically, giving a sense of depth and movement. The piece's title, Totem, suggests a cultural or symbolic reference, and the stacked forms evoke a vertical structure that resembles totemic figures or pillars. Delaunay, a pioneer in abstraction, uses these geometric forms not only as visual elements but as expressions of energy and balance. This limited edition lithograph exemplifies her exploration of color and form, celebrating abstraction’s capacity to convey emotion and rhythm.

What is Orphism?

Orphism is an abstract style of painting influenced by Cubism, developed by Sonia and Robert Delaunay. The term was coined around 1912 by French poet Guillaume Apollinaire to differentiate the Delaunays' work from Cubism, emphasizing their focus on vibrant color and light. The name Orphism is inspired by the Greek musician Orpheus, symbolizing the movement's lyrical and harmonious qualities.
