About the Item

This original lithograph by Henri-Gabriel Ibels was created to promote his solo exhibition at La Bodinière in Paris from November 6 to December 15, 1894, and was published as Plate 138 in Les Maîtres de l’Affiche in 1896. Henri-Gabriel Ibels (1867–1936) was a French illustrator, poster artist, and member of the Nabis group alongside Bonnard and Vuillard. Known for his direct and expressive graphic style, Ibels often depicted Parisian social life, theatre, and café-concert scenes with a realist’s eye and a poster artist’s bold simplification. In this poster, Ibels captures scenes from the exhibition and performances at La Bodinière Théâtre d’Application. Wrestlers, dancers, and theatre figures animate the composition, unified by a muted palette of browns, greens, and ochres, reflecting Ibels’ distinctive aesthetic that bridges Symbolism and early Modern graphic design. His lettering integrates fluidly with the imagery, typical of his approach that combined illustration and typography into a harmonious visual statement. Printed with the embossed blindstamp of Les Maîtres de l’Affiche lower right, this lithograph is a testament to Ibels’ contribution to the Parisian avant-garde poster movement and a rare example celebrating his influential exhibition at the intimate intellectual theatre of La Bodinière.
