Eugene Oge La Menthe Pastille Original Lithograph Advertising Poster circa 1908

About the Item

EUGENE OGE (French. 1861-1936) This poster is an advertisement for the liquor brand for Giffard Distilleries in Angers, (Loire Valley) France. The mint flavored liquor, La Menthe- Pastille, was first produced in 1885 by pharmacist, Emile Giffard and still exists today. The poster was inspired by the Tribunal de la Haye: "Oge was great French political poster artist in late 19th and early 20th Century. Europe is on brink of World War One, and this poster is selling a refreshing liquor "Menthe Pastille." Oge is saying with great humor that drinking this refreshing and digestive liquor is solving all the political perils at The Hague Tribunal in the Netherlands where nations met to avoid disputes and political crises. Left to right: Kaiser Wilhelm II of German consoling beaten up Sultan of Turkey, King of Italy Victor Emanuel, Emperor Franz Joseph of Austro-Hungary, Crown Prince of Germany playing with little kings of Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia as marionettes, with Russian Czar Nicolas II, French President Poincare raising glass and King George V of England looking on holding one of his battleships." This poster is illustrated page 85, Lelieur and Bachollet, Celebrities A L'Affiche, Conti, 1989. When unframed it was 62" x 46" - linen backed. It has been professionally framed behind acrylic - it has not been glued down. In the frame it measures 66" W x 50" L.

Bird Fury Painting by Leonardo Nierman, circa 1966
By Leonardo Nierman
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Intense acrylic on masonite painting Titled Bird Fury by Leonardo Nierman signed and dated in the lower right Nierman 66. According to Art Brokerage: Leonardo Nierman Mexican Artist: b. 1932. Leonardo Nierman's paintings vibrantly come to life as they capture the intensity and spontaneity of the dynamic forces that rule both nature and the cosmos. With swirling whirlpools of color, darting flame-like wisps, and brilliant hues as dazzling as a sun, they are dramatic in their representation of that which is unchallenged, though perhaps not quite understood. Leonardo Nierman's full career includes numerous distinctions, awards, and exhibitions. He has painted murals for the School of Commerce of the University City in Mexico, 1956; the "Golden West...

Jean-Marie Giguère Abstract Fish Art Glass Sculpture Circa 1999
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Beautiful abstract fish art glass sculpture is by Canadian glass artist, Jean-Marie Giguère. He uses the Graal technique to create layers in the glass. The is piece is translucent with 2 engraved green fish with orange interior that reflects on the translucent section to make a muted orange color on the translucent area. Inside the orange section is a blue section (that I believe represents water) which also reflects on the bottom of the piece. Signed and dated 1999. From Espace Verre, Giguère’s has been working with the Graal technique. "This process combines glassblowing and engraving within layers of glass, revealing a smooth decorative pattern. He is inspired by everything, while appropriating each element. "I have searched for the common denominators to all humans, to use them as themes in my compositions: the body, territory, family, home, ancestors, religion, temples, God, nature, food, lovemaking, as well as symbols of identity," says Giguère.Jean-Marie Giguère Biography from artist site: FORMATION 1988-1989 Travail du verre, Cours Intensif, Centre des métiers du verre du Québec, QC, Canada 1981-1983 Arts visuels : Verre I & II avec Pierre Osterrath, Université Laval, QC, Canada PERFECTIONNEMENT 2012 Sérigraphie et peinture sur verre avec Joseph Cavalliéri 2003 Technique tchèque de verre en fusion avec Francisek Eis 2002 Technique du Graal peint avec Morna Tudor 2000 Verre soufflé avec Philip Baldwin 1998 Taille du verre épais avec Gérald Bérubé 1997 Verre au chalumeau avec George Sarfi 1995 Traitement de surface avec Ronald Labelle 1994 Verre soufflé avec John Robinson 1993 Composition de décor avec Maurice Savoie 1992 Technique du Graal peint avec Lance Friedman 1991 Verre soufflé avec Lino Tagliapétra Verre soufflé avec Daniel Chrichton Pâte de verre avec Steven Weinberg...
