Additional details: This original exhibition poster was produced for a show by Fortuné, held at Galerie Arts et Formes in Toulouse from November 28 to December 31, 1985. The composition presents a surreal and cinematic desert landscape, dominated by a glowing, almost otherworldly mountain rendered in vivid reds and oranges. In the foreground, small silhouetted figures and animals traverse the terrain, introducing a narrative element that is both whimsical and slightly enigmatic. The scene carries a subtle humor—consistent with the artist’s designation as a “dessinateur humoriste”—while also evoking themes of isolation, exploration, and imagination. Fortuné’s work blends illustration, satire, and fantasy, creating imagery that is immediately accessible yet layered with visual storytelling. The strong contrast between the luminous landscape and the darkened sky enhances the dramatic atmosphere, while the clean graphic framing reflects the gallery poster aesthetics of the mid-1980s. The typography clearly situates the exhibition, emphasizing the presentation of pastels and paintings, and reinforcing the connection between the artist’s illustrative sensibility and fine art practice. Printed in the pre-digital poster era, this piece retains strong color saturation and clarity, making it both visually striking and decorative. A unique and engaging poster, appealing to collectors of French gallery material, illustrative art, and surreal or narrative-driven compositions. Framing available upon request. Shipping Size:
