Lunar-influenced Cosmic Surrealism "influence Lunaire"

Cosmic surrealism. Unsigned "lunar influence" oil on canvas. 73 X 92 cm. French school.
Our painting dates from the 1960s and its conception is part of a current of thought initiated by Max Ernst (1891-1976) who, fascinated by astronomy, wondered about the immensity of the universe.
We can relate it to a work by the famous surrealist painter, Le monde des naïfs, dated 1965 and which perfectly characterizes this artistic thought linked to the period of space conquests.
The artist who conceived and created the work we're proposing didn't just follow an artistic fashion, he undoubtedly contributed to space exploration. Indeed, the artist's talent has led him to explore the whole universe of painting, and his small square touches of juxtaposed colors, his spatial construction mastered by color rather than outline, are proof of this mastery.
Space, the frontier of infinity. These are the voyages of the spaceship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to discover new lives and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.
