Question

Note to moderator: read the answerline carefully. One of these works that is often read as a self-portrait and as an homage to Rembrandt's David Playing the Harp Before Saul centers on a black-cloaked figure holding a lute or guitar, and is titled The Sadness of the King. In another of these works, irregular yellow stars and a blue field surround the central figure, whose only visible feature is a red circle over its heart. Lydia Delectorskaya helped create many of these works, and wrote explanatory notes (-5[1])for a series including The (*) Swimmer in the Tank, Pierrot's Funeral, and Icarus. One of these works titled Le Bateau inadvertently spent 47 days (10[1])hanging upside-down in the MoMA. A series of lithographs were made from a quartet of these works titled Blue Nude. The art book Jazz (10[1])collects many examples of, for 10 points, what gouache-and-paper works by the Fauvist painter of The Dance? ■END■ (10[1])
