About the Item
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Divan Japonais, 75 rue des Martyrs" poster, created in 1896, is an emblematic example of the poster art of the period. It is part of the "Maîtres de l'Affiche" collection, edited by Jules Chéret, which helped popularize the poster as a work of art.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter and poster artist. His poster "Divan Japonais, 75 rue des Martyrs" depicts a lively scene in a Parisian cabaret. In the foreground, an elegant woman, Jane Avril, sits on a chair, wearing a colorful dress. She is surrounded by other spectators, who are enjoying themselves and the performance on stage.
Toulouse-Lautrec uses bold lines and vivid colors to capture the lively atmosphere of the cabaret. Reddish tones dominate the poster, creating a warm, festive atmosphere. The characters are depicted in a stylized manner, with simplified forms and distinctive details, characteristic of Toulouse-Lautrec's style.
The "Divan Japonais, 75 rue des Martyrs" poster promotes a popular entertainment venue of the time, associated with Paris's artistic bohemia. The Divan Japonais was renowned for its performances of dance, song and other nocturnal entertainment. Toulouse-Lautrec captures the energy and glamour of this place in his poster, capturing the viewer's attention and inspiring the desire to take part in the experience.
Les Maîtres de l'Affiche was a collection of 256 posters created by some of the greatest artists of the time. Toulouse-Lautrec's poster for the Divan Japonais was featured in plate number 2 of the collection, underlining its importance and popularity.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
During his brief artistic career, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captured the lively and often sordid atmosphere of Montmartre’s late 19th-century dance halls, cabarets, and theaters. Recording the performances he viewed and the establishments he visited on a nightly basis, he functioned as artist and narrator: original Lautrec paintings, drawings, prints, and posters expose the complexities of the quickly changing age in which he lived.
Between 1890 and 1900, Paris saw tremendous growth in its nightlife scene, with nearly 300 café-concerts serving women and men who drank, smoked, and fraternized in ways previously unpermitted to them in public. In such prominent clubs as the Moulin Rouge and less reputable institutions like the Moulin de la Galette, aristocrats often rubbed shoulders with the working class. It was within these establishments that Lautrec found the subjects he would voraciously document over the next decade.
Lautrec chronicled his era largely through printmaking — something few other artists had attempted to do in this medium. From 1891 until his death in 1901, he produced nearly 350 lithographic posters, editioned portfolios, and illustrations for journals and theater programs recounting life in Belle Époque Paris. The rise of color lithography in 1891 ushered in a new form of printmaking, and Lautrec found great success in this medium. This process allowed him to print large posters in color.

- Fromme's Kalender Art Nouveau Lithograph Poster Koloman Moser Vienna SecessionBy Koloman MoserLocated in Chicago, ILLithograph printed by Albert Berger, Vienna. This design "was considered very advanced in 1899, with its large scale portrayal of the motif and the almost complete renunciation of interior drawing. The silhouette of the body is in mysterious contrast to the realistically portrayed head and hands. The unwavering gaze of the woman underlines the symbolism of the design: the Norn [ancient Norse goddess of fate] with the hour-glass and snake-ring embodies the eternal circle of life and the running out of time" (Vienna Secession, Denscher, p. 45). As the poster was originally used in 1899, the waning sand in the hourglass quite naturally can be assumed to be the coming of the end of the century. KOLOMAN MOSER: Instead of applying his flair and art education to paintings, Koloman Moser embodied the idea of Gesamt Kunstwerk (all-embracing art work) by designing architecture, furniture, jewelry, graphics, and tapestries meant to coordinate every detail of an environment. His work transcended the imitative decorative arts of earlier eras and helped to define Modernism for generations to come. Moser achieved a remarkable balance between intellectual structure (often geometric) and hedonistic luxury. Collaborating with Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann, the artist was an editor and active contributor to Ver Sacrum, (Sacred Spring), the journal of the Viennese Secession that was so prized for its aesthetics and high quality production that it was considered a work of art. The magazine featured drawings and designs in the Jugendstil (Youth Style) along with literary contributions from distinguished writers from across Europe. It quickly disseminated both the spirit and the style of the Secession. In 1903 Moser and Hoffmann founded and led the Wiener Werkstatte (Viennese Workshop) a collective of artisans that produced elegant decorative arts items, not as industrial prototypes but for the purpose of sale to the public. The plan, as idealistic then as now, was to elevate the lives of consumers by means of beautiful and useful interior surroundings. Moser’s influence has endured throughout the century. His design sensibility is evident from the mid-century modern furniture of the 1950s and ‘60s to the psychedelic rock posters...Category
