Albert Guillaume
Albert Guillaume, born in Paris, France on February 14th, 1873, was a French painter and caricaturist who became a leading caricaturist during the Belle Époque. He created theater posters as well as advertising posters that were greatly influenced by the work of one of the preeminent poster painters, Jules Chéret. While remembered for his poster art, Guillaume was also widely recognized for his oil paintings of upper-crust Parisian society. His paintings reflect the customs, habits and societal activities of his day, and are complex compositions featuring Parisian society at leisure. Guillaume is also known for his satirical drawings that appeared in Parisian humor magazines such as Gil Blas, Le Rire, L’Assiette au Beurre, and Le Figaro. The winner of a bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 in Paris, Guillaume had many of his illustrations published in albums by such firms as Ernest Maindron and Librairie illustrée, J. Tallandier, including three albums of military cartoons with the preface for the 1896 edition written by Georges Courteline. Albert Guillaume died on August 10th, 1942 in the rural village of Faux in the Dordogne department of Fran

- Musée Grévin, Pantomimes Lumineuses by Jules Cheret, Commedia lithograph, 1896By Jules ChéretLocated in Chicago, ILJules Chéret’s poster advertising the Théâtre Optique (Optical Theatre) immortalized a momentous convergence of technology, culture, history, and art with the 1892 debut of Emile Reynaud’s praxinoscope at the Musée Grévin in Paris. Reynaud presented his Pantomimes Lumineuses, the world’s first animated films, using his innovative system which projected light through moving pictures to offer illuminated pantomimes. Among the three short films Reynaud screened through his praxinoscope was Pauvre Pierrot (Poor Pierrot), a story of Pierrot courting Columbine based on the timeless archetypal love triangle featured in many Commedia dell’arte pantomimes. As a member of the Cercle Funambulesque (roughly “Friends of the Tightrope-walkers”), a French society which championed the contemporary creation of Commedia dell-arte-inspired pantomimes, Jules Chéret was often inspired by Pierrot and produced a large number of works depicting him, often with his beloved Columbine. Cheret’s involvement with the Cercle, combined with the immense popularity of these archetypes in the late 19th century, meant that they appeared frequently in his works. This work comes from the extremely scarce edition of 25 strikes on Imperial Japon paper, a mulberry bark-based stock inspired by the smooth-surfaced papers used in Japanese printmaking. This world-class example of lithography captures superior resolution and color-richness to that of its large-format counterpart. The use of marbled Imperial Japon paper allows inks to rest upon its surface rather than being absorbed by a more porous paper stock. An extremely scarce fraction of the edition of 25 are estimated to have survived to date. Stone lithograph of Jules Chéret’s Musée Grévin...Category
