Set of 27 Postcards M/M Paris The new Alphabet
IV500044
This set of 27 postcards was published on the occasion of the exhibition M/M (Paris) at the Musée d'Orsay "From one M/Museum to another" at the musée d'Orsay.
Each postcard is illustrated with The New Alphabet, designed in 2016 from photographs by Inez & Vinoodh. Intrinsically very ornate, bordering on psychedelic, where the design almost erodes the alphabetical portraits, this alphabet has visual accents that at times evoke the graphic works of Matthias Grünwald and Hans Cranach. In the context of the Musée d'Orsay, these letters also recall the works of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and then "the pupils" of this school of artistic thought, such as Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.
Printed in France in compliance with environmental standards on paper from sustainably managed forests.
