Description
In the vibrant art world of the 1960s, the 1965 exhibition poster by Max Ernst for the showcase "Gravures et Lithographies Originales pour René Crevel" stands out as a significant piece of artistic history. This poster not only represents a pivotal moment in the career of one of the 20th century’s most influential surrealist artists but also highlights the creative collaboration between Ernst and the literary world.
The exhibition, held in honor of René Crevel, a notable French surrealist writer and poet, featured a collection of original engravings and lithographs by Max Ernst. This event was designed to celebrate the intersection of visual and literary arts, emphasizing the synergy between Ernst’s visual imagination and Crevel’s literary contributions.
Max Ernst, renowned for his innovative techniques and surrealist vision, brought his unique artistic approach to this series of prints. The works on display were a testament to Ernst’s mastery of engraving and lithography, mediums in which he had developed a distinctive style characterized by intricate details and dreamlike imagery. These prints were not merely illustrations but rather explorations of the surreal and the abstract, reflecting the deep connection between visual art and the themes of Crevel’s writing.
The poster itself, produced in a limited edition of 70 numbered copies, served as both a promotional tool and a collectible item. The specific copy, numbered 10 out of 70, is a rare artifact that embodies the exclusivity and significance of the exhibition. The limited run underscores the importance of the event and the value placed on both Ernst’s artworks and the literary homage to René Crevel.
This exhibition represented a unique convergence of artistic and literary worlds, reflecting the broader trend of collaboration between different creative fields during the mid-20th century. It celebrated the contributions of both Ernst and Crevel to the surrealist movement, showcasing how their works complemented and enhanced each other.
The 1965 poster by Max Ernst is not just a promotional piece but also an artifact of art history. It encapsulates a moment of creative partnership and highlights the ongoing relevance of surrealism in the art world. As a collectible, it provides insight into the exhibition’s significance and the artistic achievements of its time.
Today, the poster remains a valuable item for collectors and enthusiasts of modern art. It stands as a testament to the enduring impact of Max Ernst’s work and his role in celebrating the literary legacy of René Crevel. Through its limited edition status and artistic association, it offers a glimpse into a significant cultural event and the continued relevance of surrealist art.

However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
