Max Ernst, Kompozycja
Unknown
A minimalist letterpress announcement for a Max Ernst exhibition, made to advertise the artist while projecting a clear, modern visual tone.
The design arrests you with a vast blank field broken only by the bold name “MAX ERNST” and a small dark rectangle of textured, organic shapes in the upper area, the generous white space making the two elements feel suspended and precise.
An example of modernist graphic practice—spare typography, asymmetry, and photographic imagery—showing how exhibition ephemera helped circulate avant‑garde art and typographic ideas internationally.
