About the Item
The original 1896 poster by H. G. Ibels, titled "Demi Cabots le café-concert le cirque les forains," offers a vivid glimpse into the colorful world of Parisian café-concerts and circuses during the late 19th century.
Ibels, a prominent figure in the Belle Époque art scene, showcases his signature style in this dynamic composition. With bold lines and vibrant colors, he captures the lively atmosphere of the café-concert and the excitement of the circus, transporting viewers to a realm of entertainment and spectacle.
The term "Demi Cabots" likely refers to the semi-skilled workers or casual laborers who frequented such establishments, adding a touch of realism and social commentary to the scene. In contrast, the café-concert and circus represent spaces of escapism and amusement, where people from all walks of life could come together to enjoy performances, music, and laughter.
Ibels' poster serves as both advertisement and artwork, enticing passersby with promises of thrilling acts and unforgettable experiences. The inclusion of the word "forains" (traveling showmen or fairground performers) suggests a broader scope of entertainment, hinting at the diverse array of attractions one might encounter at these venues.

Henri Gabriel Ibels
Henri-Gabriel Ibels (30 November 1867 Paris – February 1936 Paris), was a French illustrator, printmaker, painter and author. He studied at the Académie Julian* with Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard and was a member of Les Nabis* from its 1889 founding. Other members were Gauguin, Utrillo, Félix Vallotton and Émile Bernard. Ibels took part in Les Nabis’ exhibitions at Le Barc de Boutteville gallery. With Vuillard and Maurice Denis he soon caught the public eye and earned the nickname ‘le Nabis journaliste’. Ibels’ images were powerful and heavily graphic, in keeping with the movement that was a generous admixture of fine art, graphic design and advertising, as seen in the lithographs and posters for theater, cabaret, and book illustration. Ibels drew his inspiration from life on the street, cafés, the circus and boxing ring, as did Adolphe Willette, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen. His graphic style owed much to the art of Honoré Daumier, Japanese woodcuts, Paul Gauguin and the Pont-Aven School. Ibels collaborated with Toulouse-Lautrec and became involved in avant-garde theater. He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants* for the first time in 1891.
