Mucha, Salon des Cent, Original Art Nouveau Belle Epoque Vintage Poster, 1896

About the Item

Original Art Nouveau Vintage Poster dating from 1896 by Alphonse Mucha. Poster for the 20th edition of the Salon des Cent in March-April 1896. The Salon des Cent (also known as "Salon de la Plume") is an exhibition of French art designed by Léon Deschamps, launched in Paris in February 1894 in the lobby of the journal La Plume. The idea was to exhibit and sell prints and drawings associated with the literary and artistic periodical. The last edition, the 53rd, took place in 1900. This exhibition hosted famous artists of the time including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri-Gabriel Ibels, Eugène Grasset, Fernand-Louis Gottlob, Pierre Bonnard, Georges de Feure, Rene Lalique, Henri Matisse ... On this poster, a half-nude woman, her inclined head resting nonchalantly on one hand, her golden hair curling like a halo in rich arabesques ( those famous “macaroni” according to the critics) a divine languor lingering over the clean outlines of her face, the whole emanating an indefinable charm. This poster was Mucha’s introductory gift to La Plume in appreciation of being invited to join the magazine’s stable of artists. La Plume henceforth sold all his posters and panels through their art department and honored him with a one-man show the following year.
