Description

Original exhibition poster featuring the work of legendary Surrealist artist Max Ernst.

This poster was produced for the exhibition “Gemälde · Grafik · Skulptur” held in Dresden in 1990, organized in collaboration with the Sprengel Museum Hannover.

The image featured on the poster reproduces Ernst’s dreamlike landscape “Fascination cypres” (1940), a work that embodies the artist’s surreal visual language — merging organic forms, imaginary creatures, and mysterious geological structures into a fantastical environment.

Max Ernst was one of the founders of Surrealism and an important figure in both the Dada movement and 20th-century avant-garde art. His experimental techniques such as frottage, decalcomania, and grattage helped redefine modern painting.

Exhibition posters like this were originally printed as promotional material for museums and galleries. Today they serve as historical artifacts documenting the exhibitions that brought these artworks to the public.

With its striking surreal imagery and large format, this poster makes a powerful statement piece for collectors of modern art and Surrealism.
