About the Item

Maitres de L’Affiche Pl. 146 original color Lithograph - Journal des Ventes. Artist: Georges deFeure (1868-1943). Belgian & Dutch. Bears the embossed printer’s logo in the paper lower right: Chaix Descriptive text is seen lower left corner. Created 1896. Excellent condition. Sheet size: 15 1/2" H x 11 1/2" W. Frame size 16 1/2" H x 12 1/2" W. Purchased in Florence. Original frame from the 1940's or 50's with no mat. "One of the most opulent and evocative images of the Belle Epoque and deservedly de Feure's most celebrated poster" (De Feure p. 71). Jane Abdy considers this "de Feure's finest poster, and one of the most beautiful of the whole period" (Abdy p. 156). Of Belgian and Dutch origins, Georges de Feure was largely self-taught as an artist. He was born Georges Joseph van Sluijters in Paris, where his father worked as an architect. Settling in Montmartre, de Feure soon allied himself with the Symbolist movement, taking part in the Exposition des Peintres Impressionistes et Symbolistes at the Galerie Le Barc de Boutteville, alongside Gauguin and the Nabis artists. De Feure exhibited at the Societé Nationale in 1894, and the same year an exhibition of his watercolours was held at the Galerie des Artistes modernes in Paris, leading one critic to describe him as ‘an artist whose work is never banal, but whose symbolism is not always accessible.’ By this time De Feure was also designing posters, many seemingly influenced by Japanese prints, as well as producing colour lithographs. Aptly described by one modern scholar as ‘the most art nouveau of all the Symbolists’, De Feure embarked on an association with the Art Nouveau pioneer Siegfried Bing that was to establish his reputation. In 1903 a large exhibition of his decorative work for Bing’s Galerie de l’Art Nouveau was held in Paris, later travelling to The Hague and Hamburg. De Feure also established his own atelier, which handled commissions from other sources, such as Julius Meier-Graefe’s gallery La Maison Moderne. Late in his career De Feure was appointed Professor of Decorative Art at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
