Additional details: This striking original poster was created in 1972 for an exhibition of works by André Masson at the Galerie de Seine in Paris, focusing on his important “période asiatique” (1950–1959). The composition features a subtle, atmospheric reproduction of Masson’s calligraphic abstraction—an evocative interplay of gesture, texture, and line that reflects his deep engagement with East Asian aesthetics and philosophy during this period. Rendered in a restrained grayscale palette, the central image recalls the fluidity of ink painting and the spontaneity of automatism, both central to Masson’s practice and his role within the Surrealist movement. The surrounding bold red border, with its clean typography and modernist layout, creates a striking contrast—anchoring the composition firmly in the graphic language of early 1970s exhibition design. Masson’s “Asiatic period” marked a significant evolution in his work, influenced by travels and a growing interest in Zen Buddhism, calligraphy, and the expressive potential of the brushstroke. This poster not only promotes the exhibition but also serves as a compelling visual distillation of that transformative decade. Printed in Paris in 1972, this piece is an authentic example from the pre-digital poster era, valued for its quality printing, historical relevance, and direct connection to the artist’s legacy. A sophisticated and collectible work, ideal for collectors of Surrealism, post-war European art, and museum exhibition posters. Framing available upon request. Shipping Size:
