{"product_id":"ap_04363","title":"La Forêt à l'Aube - Salon de Mai 1958","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"264\" data-start=\"29\"\u003eThis 1958 original exhibition poster, designed by Max Ernst for the Salon de Mai, features \"La Forêt à l’Aube\" (The Forest at Dawn)—a striking example of his surrealist and abstract approach to nature and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"693\" data-start=\"266\"\u003eThe Salon de Mai, held at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, was a crucial post-war exhibition, showcasing avant-garde artists pushing the boundaries of modern art. Max Ernst, a pioneer of Surrealism and Dada, used his signature grattage (scraping) and frottage (rubbing) techniques to create intricate, layered imagery that evokes dense forests, dreamlike landscapes, and subconscious visions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1050\" data-start=\"695\"\u003eThe deep blue tones and web-like patterns in this poster create an immersive, almost mystical atmosphere. The composition suggests a tangle of organic forms, simultaneously resembling tree branches, nervous systems, or celestial maps. Ernst’s ability to blend the natural world with the unknown makes this piece particularly mesmerizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1331\" data-start=\"1052\"\u003eTypography plays a minimal yet bold role in the design, with \"Salon de Mai\" in large, capitalized red letters anchoring the artwork. The exhibition dates, 11 May – 1 June 1958, are displayed in a structured layout, balancing the chaotic beauty of the artwork above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1718\" data-start=\"1333\"\u003eAs a testament to post-war creativity and artistic freedom, this poster embodies the spirit of the 20th-century avant-garde, reinforcing Ernst’s legacy as an innovator in automatism, texture-based techniques, and surreal landscapes. Today, it remains a rare and collectible piece, capturing the essence of the Salon de Mai’s revolutionary influence on modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition - Surrealism - Dada\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuseum of modern art of the city of Paris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMourlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good state\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ernst Max","offers":[{"title":"67 x 45 \/ A+","offer_id":41595057897657,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_04363Insta2.jpg?v=1741017976","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.fr\/en\/products\/ap_04363","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
