Auguste Donnay
Second International Photographic Art Exhibition by Auguste Donnay, 1897

1897

About the Item

A young woman wearing a floral dress examines photographic works in a gallery display. Auguste Donnay created this poster for the Second International Photographic Art Exhibition, held in Brussels at the Musée Moderne in April of 1896. This work was published by Imprimerie Chaix, the printing house known for publishing the works of Belle Epoque master Jules Chéret. While this poster was printed in multiple sizes and formats, this 1897 edition of 25 strikes on Japon paper is the most desirable and extremely scarce edition. Japon paper allows inks to rest upon its surface rather than being absorbed by a more permeable paper stock. The rare, small format poster lithographs created at this time were printed using rich, dense, lead inks. This world-class example of lithography captures superior resolution and color-richness to that of its large-format counterpart. Notable museum collections featuring works by Auguste Donnay include: The British Museum, London; Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, Spain
