{"title":"Jacques Prévert","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacques Prévert (1900–1977) is best known as one of the defining voices of twentieth-century French poetry and as the screenwriter behind \u003cem\u003eLes Enfants du Paradis\u003c\/em\u003e (1945) and other landmarks of poetic realism in French cinema. Less visible in the canonical account of postwar art, but no less sustained, was his parallel practice as a visual artist: collages, assemblages, and poetic image-objects produced across several decades and exhibited in Paris and beyond from the 1950s onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe documents gathered here record the institutional reception of that visual work — invitations, announcements, and printed matter issued by galleries and venues that presented Prévert's images to audiences during his lifetime. Each piece is a minor administrative object that has outlasted its occasion. What remains is a printed surface: a name, a place, a set of dates, and the trace of an encounter between a poet's visual practice and the gallery system that briefly held it.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jacques-prevert-images-galerie-knoedler-paris-1963","title":"Jacques Prévert — Images, Galerie Knoedler, Paris, 1963","description":"\u003cp\u003e20 × 9 cm.

Although internationally celebrated as one of France’s great poets and screenwriters — known for films such as \u003cem\u003eLes Enfants du Paradis\u003c\/em\u003e — Prévert also maintained a significant parallel practice producing collages, assemblages, and poetic visual compositions. By the early 1960s these works were receiving increasing institutional and commercial attention, with Knoedler providing an important venue for presenting them to the Paris art world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe card reflects the restrained graphic language of mid-century French gallery printing: generous margins, serif typography, and the artist’s name rendered in elegant script. The invitation functions as a printed point of transfer. It carries little more than a name, a place, and a set of dates. Once its immediate purpose had passed, the card remained as evidence of an encounter between artist, gallery, and audience. Its blank reverse and economical design reinforce its status as an administrative object whose significance has shifted through retention rather than alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in the listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Knoedler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53806707507538,"sku":"PREVERT-KNOEDLER-INV-1963","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Prevert_Jacques._Show_invite_Galerie_Knoedler._1963.jpg?v=1782020531"}],"url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/collections\/jacques-prevert.oembed","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
