La peinture est proprement un language lumineux, ca. 1924.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81456593

This three-page manuscript compares the "sensibilité visuelle" of light and color in Impressionism to their rhythm and simultaneity in Cubist art. The manuscript appears to be an early draft of a text by the same title, published in the volume "Du Cubisme à l'art abstrait" (1957). The editor, Pierre Francastel, included this text among Delaunay's unpublished notes for a book project (ca. 1924) intended as a theoretical and historical definition of his own art (op.cit. p. 166). The published version of the text was shortened and rewritten, presumably by the artist, with the omission of all references to proper names as well as the entire final section of the present manuscript.
