{"product_id":"ap_22628","title":"Images Jacques Prévert 1957","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"152\" data-end=\"531\"\u003eThis evocative original poster was produced in 1957 to announce the exhibition “Images – Jacques Prévert”, held at the Librairie Adrien Maeght, located at 42 rue du Bac in Paris. Far from a conventional literary announcement, the poster reflects the poetic, surreal, and slightly unsettling universe that defines the work of \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eJacques Prévert\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"1054\"\u003eSet against a deep black background, the composition stages a mysterious, theatrical scene: a puppet-like figure holding a stick, illuminated by candlelight, faces two small doll figures perched on a bed. This dreamlike imagery echoes Prévert’s fascination with childhood, popular imagery, collage, and the blurred boundary between innocence and menace. The visual language feels intimate and nocturnal, inviting the viewer into a private world of imagination rather than offering a literal description of the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003eThe handwritten red lettering—“images” and “Jacques Prévert”—introduces a striking contrast against the darkness. Its spontaneous, almost playful appearance recalls Prévert’s own poetic style: direct, emotional, and defiantly anti-academic. Typography here is not merely informational but expressive, reinforcing the personal and artistic tone of the exhibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1760\"\u003ePrinted for a short exhibition running from 17 May to 5 June 1957, the poster exemplifies the Maeght circle’s approach to graphic design, where artists and writers were given unusual creative freedom. Rather than promoting a single book or event, it announces a broader visual and poetic universe—Prévert’s world translated into images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"2082\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eToday, Images – Jacques Prévert stands as a highly desirable piece of postwar French cultural history. It embodies the convergence of poetry, visual art, and graphic design that defined Parisian intellectual life in the 1950s, and remains a powerful testament to Prévert’s enduring influence beyond the written word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Poster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition - Literature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdrien Maeght Bookstore - Devaye\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePrinted by Union in Paris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie 1881","offers":[{"title":"44 x 22 \/ A  \/ On Linen","offer_id":53026192556359,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_22628Insta2.jpg?v=1770045066","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.fr\/en\/products\/ap_22628","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
