Maitre de L'Affiche Plate 175. Image size: 8 7/8" H x 10 1/2" W Sheet size: 11 1/2" H x 15 3/4" W Lecons de Violon is one of the plates from the turn-of-the-century Maitres de l'Affiche series, which consisted of 256 small format lithographic prints of the best posters of the Belle Epoque. Printed by Imprimerie Chaix, Paris, 1896. Berthon, Paul Emile (Chartrettes, 1872 - Paris, 1909) The lithographs of Paul Berthon stand at the centre of our interpretation of Art Nouveau grace and beauty. Despite his very short life it is impossible not to rank Berthon among the greatest masters of this entire turn-of-the-century movement. He was a gifted posterist and illustrator, and a pupil of Grasset, who created some of the most endearing images of women. Berthon was a painter, lithographer, commercial artist of magazine covers and a designer of furniture and ceramics. He studied as a painter in Villefranche before going to Paris in 1893. Although he continued to study in Paris, his greatest influence was that of Eugene Grasset, another towering figure with Mucha. Paul Berthon died at the untimely age of 37.
