The style was apparent in paintings, sculptures, furniture, and, of course, original posters by artists such as Alphonse Mucha, Eugène Grasset, and Paul Berthon.Īlphons Mucha, the young Czech artist, created exceptionally beautiful posters of the actress Sarah Bernhardt for her theater roles including Lorenzaccio, la Dame aux Camélias and la Samaritaine. This can be seen in his masterpieces Mothu & Doria, le Lait de la Vingeanne, le clinique Chéreau, and le Bodinière.Īrt Nouveau coveted the beginning of the twentieth century. The young Swiss artist, Steinlen impressed Paris with a considerably more realistic style than his predecessors. Original posters offered a form of expression and creativity that reached out to artists of all levels and styles. Toulouse Lautrec confirmed his talents with his posters Divan Japonais, Jane Avril, le Chap Book, la Passagère, and Aristide Bruand. He went on to create a large number of original posters. He began painting posters after seeing the Moulin Rouge by Jules Chéret. Unquestionably, the master of original art posters was Toulouse Lautrec. Jules Chéret generated a great demand for original art posters which paved the way for the arrival of new artistes including Jules Alexandre Grün for Bal Tabarin Alfred Choubrac for his posters on operettas Misti and his magnificent Fêtes de Neuilly Georges Meunier and the exceptional artist Jean Poelogue who worked under the pseudonym Pal, was known for the posters he created for the Folies Bergères. Chéret designed posters for the Moulin Rouge, Arlette Dorgere, Casino de Paris, and Théâtre de l’Opéra. He was equally at home with designing and creating advertising posters for brand name companies including Saxoléïne, Théâtrophone, Le Palais de Glace, as he was in promoting cabarets, entertainers, and artists. His posters were seen throughout Paris and across France. This new style of communication is credited to Jules Chéret as having created the first original posters.
