Manuel Robbe Art
French, 1872-1936
Manuel Robbe lived in Paris all his life, creating images that echoed the polished splendor of the Belle Epoque. He exhibited often at the Salons, first at the Société des Artistes Français (winning a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1900) and after 1905 at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. As the turn of the century, critic Gabriel Moury noted, Robbe's favorite subject was the "modern woman," her costumes, and activities and the visual elegance of her world. Absorbing the influence of Impressionism, particularly Renoir, Robbe applied a sensitive painterly touch to techniques that fit with the new paradigm of mass production. He designed and printed posters for corsets and bicycles, seeing, like Toulouse-Lautrec, the artistic potential of the new commercial era. Robbe also created illustrations for humorous magazines and made colored etchings of the works of contemporary artists. He was a favorite artist of the celebrated Parisian print publisher Edmond Sagot, who promoted his work. Robbe was a pioneer of the à la poupée process, enabling an artist to print multiple colors from a single plate. He invented his engraving technique known as “sugar-life,” using a mixture of sugar, India ink and gum Arabic on Zinc plates. The plates were heated, intricately worked and color was applied with brushes made of rags; Robbe then used his fingers to perfect the tones. Such technical mastery allowed Robbe to make each image unique, imbued with a lushness and immediacy befitting of the era in which he lived.

Original aquatint "Le manège ou la Place Blanche à Paris" by Manuel Robbe
By Manuel Robbe

Sheet size: 23 5/16 x 17 5/16 inches
Provenance: Arthur Gilbert, noted collector
The colors are applied to the printing plate by hand in a technique called "a la poupee".
From Wikipedia:
"À la poupée is a largely historic intaglio printmaking technique for making colour prints by applying different ink colours to a single printing plate using ball-shaped wads of cloth, one for each colour. "
Sometimes this manner of applying inks is called monoprint inking. By the nature of the hand application and blending of colors, each impressions varies to some degree. That's why it looks like a painting.
This gives the finished etching a "painterly effect" that many find to be most pleasing. The artist was hugely popular in the 1970's and 1980's here in America,
