About the Item

The 1896 original poster by Henry Detouche for the "22e Exposition des Cent" organized by La Plume is a remarkable piece of art nouveau. This poster advertises the 22nd exhibition of the "Les Cent" (The Hundred), a group of artists who were pivotal in the promotion and development of modern art in Paris during the late 19th century. Henry Detouche, a notable French artist, created this striking poster. It features a refined illustration of a woman in a stylish, flowing dress, indicative of the fashion and aesthetic sensibilities of the era. The woman is depicted in profile, with her hands gracefully poised, surrounded by elegant swans, which add a touch of whimsy and grace to the composition. The use of soft colors and flowing lines is characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, emphasizing natural forms and intricate details. The poster announces the exhibition held from July to the end of September at 31 Rue Bonaparte in Paris. The "Exposition des Cent" was an influential series of exhibitions that showcased contemporary artists, providing them with a platform to present their work to a wider audience. La Plume, a prominent literary and artistic magazine of the time, organized these exhibitions, playing a crucial role in the art community of Paris. The typography in the poster is a blend of bold and delicate fonts, with the title "22e Exposition des Cent" prominently displayed at the top. The details of the exhibition, including the dates and the address, are elegantly integrated into the design, maintaining a balance between the textual and visual elements. For collectors and art enthusiasts, this poster is a valuable piece, reflecting the artistic movements and cultural dynamics of late 19th-century Paris. It is not just an advertisement but a work of art that captures the spirit of the time and the innovative approaches of artists like Henry Detouche. The poster's design and the exhibition it represents highlight the importance of artistic expression and the promotion of new art forms that were emerging during this period. In summary, the 1896 original poster by Henry Detouche for the "22e Exposition des Cent" organized by La Plume is an exquisite example of Art Nouveau. It stands as a testament to the creative energy and cultural vibrancy of Paris at the turn of the century, celebrating the contributions of artists who shaped modern art.
