About the Item

Paper Size: 68.5 x 47.5 inches ( 173.99 x 120.65 cm ) Image Size: 68.5 x 47.5 inches ( 173.99 x 120.65 cm ) Framed: No Condition: B-: Good Condition, Signs of Handling and Age Additional Details: Seymour Chwast's posters are in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide. Seymour Chwast"s art helped to propel a revolution in American illustration during the early 1960"s from sentimental realism to comic expressionism. His work for magazines, posters, advertisements, and children"s books influenced at least two generations of illustrators and designers in America and abroad to explore a broad range of stylistic and conceptual methods, as well as to wed illustration with design. In addition to his unique style and innovative techniques, Chwast contributed a delightfully absurdist sense of wit and humor to twentieth century applied art. Although rooted in the decorative traditions of the nascent years of commercial art—notably Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco—his work is not a synthesis of the past and present, but an invention of the most original kind.

  • "La Vache Enragee" iconic vintage poster by Toulouse-Lautrec
    By Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
    Located in Hinsdale, IL
    TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, HENRI DE (1864-1901) "LA VACHE ENRAGÉE" Wittrock P27B, Adhemar 197 Original color lithograph Wittrock’s State III of III with letters Printed on buff wove paper, c. 1896 Bears artist stamp “TL” upper right, dated 96 Image size: 22 1/2” x 23 5/8” Several examples are known where Lautrec drew on work by other artists whom he admired. In this poster there are clear references to Adolphe Willette's humorous themes and rococo style of illustration. Willette was the founder and illustrator of the short-lived monthly “La Vache Enragee”(the angry cow) edited by the cartoonist Adolphe Roedel. This colored poster of the same title was commissioned for the appearance of the magazine March 1896. As a reference to the wretched financial state of most artists, the term “manger de la vache enrage” (meaning roughly, “meaning not having enough to eat”) was adopted as the motto for the “Vachalcade”which was held on Montmarte annually from 1896. This was an artists' procession, with fanfares and allegories on fame and the muses; it also included a furious cow and a troupe of pretty girls as a satire on Europa with the bull. The event was organized by Roedel"(Adriani p.217) Toulouse-Lautrec took up lithography at a high point in its history, when technical advances in color printing and new possibilities for large scale led to a proliferation of posters as well as prints for the new bourgeois collector. In his short career, he created more than three hundred fifty prints and thirty posters, as well as lithographed theater programs...
