He is often considered a surrealist, although he only briefly identified with the Surrealist movement. He was influenced by the works of Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte, but developed his own fantastical subjects and hyper-realistic styling, combining the detailed classical beauty of academic painting with the bizarre juxtapositions of surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his long career, Delvaux explored \"Nude and skeleton, the clothed and the unclothed, male and female, desire and horror, eroticism and death – Delvaux's major anxieties in fact, and the greater themes of his later work\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnokke Casino is a sea-front casino in the town of Knokke, in Flanders, Belgium. It is known for its permanent large-scale artworks by Keith Haring, René Magritte, and Paul Delvaux. The architectural style is said to have been influenced by Le Corbusier, along with Art Deco and the designer's Beaux-Arts training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206216196483,"sku":"L4KKV","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.4365931659_fesv.jpg?v=1768965881","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1973-paul-delvaux-poster-nudes-in-the-52223","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
