Le Surréalisme révolutionnaire: Revue internationale bimestrielle [Poster]

[Passeron, René]

Publication: Copenhague [Copenhagen]: J. Chr. Sorensen & Co., [1948].

Notes: A poster advertising subscriptions to a post-war periodical, Le Surréalisme révolutionnaire, which successfully published just a single issue.

The poster is a two-color lithograph measuring 18-5/8 by 24-7/8 inches, with an applied label with a brief chronology of Surrealism culminating in the publication of this journal. According to Yale's Beinecke Library, which has some archival material related to the journal, the poster design is by René Passeron (1920–2017), a French painter and art historian.

Edition + Condition: This poster was previously matted and there is a bit of mat burn in the unprinted margins. The yellow-orange ink is a bit faded. The poster has been linenbacked, with the old folds flattened. With a few small nicks to the edges.
