Publicité pour la cristallerie Daum, 1947
Photomontage
31 x 24 cm
Unique
Pierre Jahan's publicity shots from the 1940s have a distinct surrealist feel to them. "As an old and unrepentant surrealist I was able to allow myself, at that time, to indulge in fantasies." as the artist will relate in his memoirs, Objectif.
This time, the Daum crystal glass becomes a fantasy winter scape, playing on the analogy of glass and ice.
