Overview

The verses and the art combine not merely to teach the young child the alphabet but also to suggest the infinite possibilities that can be expressed in just twenty-six letters--beauty, wisdom, humor, truth. Delaunay was fascinated by the symbolism of the alphabet; she used words or letters as themes in many of her paintings, and also illustrated books of poetry. It is as a colorist that she is best known, however, and her bold paintings make Alphabet sing with glorious color. The first edition of this book, signed and numbered, was sold in art galleries. The present edition has been specially designed and printed from the original plates on fine-quality art paper and is a permanent work of graphic art to be treasured and enjoyed.
