Original French Antique Posters
During the 19th century the poster celebrated its golden era. Under the masterly hands of Cheret, Toulouse Lautrec, Mucha and Steinlen, the poster attained new-found status as an innovative art form, allowing mass distribution of an artist's distinctive imagery.
In 1867, Jules Cheret, "The Father of the Poster", used the new four color lithographic process to create a highly stylized form of graphic art.
Cheret's successors promulgated the Art Nouveau style by creating numerous popular posters utilizing sinuous organic forms. Many of the significant Art Nouveau themes were employed in posters for art exhibitions, theatre productions and commercial products.
In the first quarter of the 20th century, the illustrated designs were replaced by simple, bold motifs mirroring the streamlined forms of Art Deco artists. Artists such as A.M Cassandre and Villernot combined geometric simplicity with figurative art to create recognizable forms with a modern flair.
Jean Stephen Galleries is pleased to offer the following original French antique posters for sale. Every poster is an original vintage poster fully authenticated by a Certificate of Appraisal.
