Felician Myrbach (1853-1940) Poèmes magyars, Magyar poems bears the monogram "M" on the lower left, titled in the upper right Ink on paper 29,8 x 19,8 cm in good condition, the sheet is slightly yellowed In a modern frame : 33 x 23 cm This is an illustration project by Felician Myrbach for François Coppée's work, "Poèmes magyars". He leaves the space to be occupied by the text blank on the sheet and arranges his composition accordingly. It is interesting to see the artist imagine his drawing with this constraint. Felician Myrbach (also Felicien de Myrbach, Felician von Myrbach, from 1919 Freiherr von Rheinfeld) was born on 9 February 1853 in Zalishchyky, he died 14 January 1940 in Klagenfurt He was an Austrian painter, graphic designer and illustrator. He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession and the director of the Applied Arts School in Vienna (now the University of Applied Arts Vienna), and was instrumental in the creation of the Wiener Werkstätte. Myrbach's father was Franz Myrbach (1818–1882), the Administrator of Bukovina in 1865–70. His older brother Franz Xaver (1850–1919) was an economist and professor at the University of Innsbruck. He attended the Theresian Military Academy in 1868–71, graduating as a Leutnant, then at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna under August Eisenmenger. In 1875, he joined the 19th Feldjäger Battalion, and in 1877 became an Oberleutnant in the Military Geographic Institute, then, after campaigning in Bosnia in 1878, he taught drawing at the Infantry Cadet School in Vienna. He continued his artistic studies under C R Huber. In 1881, he went on military leave and moved to Paris, retiring totally from the military in 1884 as a Hauptmann, 2nd Class. He stayed in Paris until 1897, working as an illustrator, including illustrating the works of Alphonse Daudet, Victor Hugo and Jules Verne. Myrbach was a founding member of the Vienna Secession in 1897. In the same year, he became the a professor of the Applied Arts School at the Museum of Art and Industry; Arthur von Scala, another reformer Modernist, was made head of the Museum. In 1889, Myrbach became the director of the school. He brought an enthusiastic Modernist attitude and encouraged an integration between art, design and production. He added Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffmann to the staff, amongst other Secession artists. This would lead to the foundation of the Wiener Werkstätte in 1903. Myrbach leant more towards an aesthetic approach than von Scala, but both worked together to bring about their combined vision of successful, popular Austrian applied art. Myrbach was a voice for reform towards Modernist ideals in the School, which was started 1899 with the support of Alfred Roller, and completed by 1901.The reform of the school has been described as his "lasting merit". Ludwig Hevesi called Myrbach "probably the best [illustrator] in Vienna", partially for his work (with Moser) in the Secession magazine Ver Sacrum. Myrbach visited America on a state-funded study trip in 1904, part of which was to represent the Applied Arts School at the 1904 World...

The 1896 original poster by Privat-Livemont for Absinthe Robette stands as one of the most iconic examples of the Art Nouveau movement and a testament to the golden age of advertising art. Included in the prestigious series Les Maîtres de l'Affiche as Plate 104, this poster epitomizes the elegance, fluidity, and ornamental style that defined turn-of-the-century commercial design. Designed by Privat-Livemont, a Belgian artist renowned for his contributions to Art Nouveau, the Absinthe Robette poster was created to advertise the popular absinthe drink of the late 19th century. Absinthe, often referred to as the "Green Fairy," was a fashionable and somewhat controversial beverage, celebrated for its intoxicating allure and inspiration among artists, writers, and bohemians of the period. Privat-Livemont was celebrated for his ability to combine decorative elegance with commercial purpose. His work for Absinthe Robette reflects the signature traits of Art Nouveau: graceful lines, flowing forms, and a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs. Posters like this were not merely advertisements but works of art in their own right, often displayed in cafes, bars, and public spaces, capturing the imagination of passersby. Les Maîtres de l'Affiche (The Masters of the Poster) was a renowned collection of lithographic works, published between 1895 and 1900, that brought together the finest poster art from the greatest artists of the time. Curated by Jules Chéret, the series highlighted the artistic mastery of advertising and included works by notable artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Alphonse Mucha, and Privat-Livemont. Plate 104, featuring Absinthe Robette, is a shining example of the beauty and sophistication celebrated within this series. The late 19th century saw posters emerge as a powerful medium for both art and commerce, revolutionizing the visual landscape of cities. In this golden era, artists like Privat-Livemont elevated the status of posters from functional advertisements to celebrated works of art. Through their ornate designs and expressive use of color and composition, these posters reflected the aesthetic and cultural trends of the time. Today, the Absinthe Robette poster remains an enduring symbol of the Art Nouveau movement and a treasured piece of history. As part of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, it holds significant cultural and artistic value, appealing to collectors, historians, and admirers of vintage advertising art...

Around 1900, a beautifully crafted poster was designed by the renowned French illustrator Chéri Hérouard, promoting A. Bichot & Cie, a respected wine house in Beaune, Burgundy. Titled Vins de Bourgogne et de Bordeaux, the poster embodies the artistic and commercial spirit of the Belle Époque, capturing both the elegance of wine culture and the artisanal craftsmanship of French poster art during this vibrant period. The image is a lively and colorful depiction, filled with charm and historical references. At the heart of the poster, an older man dressed in traditional medieval garb sits comfortably on a wooden chair, enjoying a glass of wine poured by a playful court jester. The jester, adorned in vibrant reds and greens, contrasts sharply with the older man’s more somber and scholarly appearance. This contrast suggests a blend of wit and wisdom, reflecting the dynamic character of French wine and the cultural tradition of savoring both pleasure and knowledge. The design is not only visually engaging but also rich in symbolic elements. Scattered books and scrolls at the older man’s feet hint at knowledge and history, invoking the deep tradition of winemaking in Burgundy and Bordeaux. The careful balance between the whimsical jester and the contemplative elder evokes both pleasure and reverence, mirroring the way fine wine was (and still is) celebrated and respected in French culture. The grapevine motif framing the scene enhances the connection to wine, grounding the image in its subject matter. Hérouard’s skill in illustration is evident in the intricate details of the figures and objects. From the curling vine leaves to the worn pages of the books, every element has been carefully rendered. The color palette, dominated by earthy tones with splashes of vibrant reds and greens, conveys the warmth and richness of the wine-producing regions of Bourgogne and Bordeaux, further reinforcing the poster's celebratory tone. To the right of the image, the elegant typography reads A. Bichot & Cie, proudly announcing that the wine house was founded in 1831 in Beaune, one of the centers of Burgundy’s prestigious wine industry. The mention of Grands Vins des Hospices de Beaune further emphasizes the poster’s focus on promoting the finest wines from this historic region. The combination of stylized fonts and classic imagery positions A. Bichot as a trusted name in the wine world, blending tradition with sophistication. Chéri Hérouard, the artist behind this work, was one of France’s most accomplished illustrators of the early 20th century. He is best known for his long career as an illustrator for La Vie Parisienne, a popular French magazine that featured sophisticated and often provocative illustrations. Hérouard’s versatility as an artist allowed him to move seamlessly between erotic art, magazine illustration, and more commercial commissions like this one. His ability to imbue his work with both elegance and a touch of humor made him a beloved figure in the art world of his time. Born in 1881 as Chéri-Louis-Marie-Aime Haumé, Hérouard took on his mother’s maiden name after the death of his father. He began his artistic career in the early 1900s, quickly gaining recognition for his distinctive style. Though most of his work was published in magazines, Hérouard also created posters, advertisements, and book illustrations. His work often combined lush, decorative elements with finely detailed figures, making him a perfect fit for projects that required both artistry and commercial appeal, such as this A. Bichot & Cie poster. The Vins de Bourgogne et de Bordeaux poster...

This 1917 original wartime propaganda poster, designed by Albert Besnard, was created to promote the Third National Defense Loan (3e Emprunt de la Défense Nationale) in France during World War I. As the war raged on, France needed financial support from its citizens to sustain military efforts, and posters like this played a crucial role in mobilizing the public to contribute to the war effort. The composition is rich with symbolism and emotion. At the forefront, a serene yet resolute woman, draped in blue and white, holds an innocent child while extending an olive branch—a universal sign of peace. Behind her, a winged allegorical figure of Victory, clad in dramatic red robes, brandishes a sword and urges forward action. This juxtaposition between maternal protection and military force highlights the dual message of the poster: peace can only be achieved through victory. The bold red typography reads: "SOUSCRIVEZ POUR HÂTER LA PAIX PAR LA VICTOIRE" ("Subscribe to hasten peace through victory"), emphasizing the patriotic duty of citizens to invest in war bonds as a means of securing France’s triumph and eventual peace. Created in the late phase of World War I, this poster reflects France’s determination and resilience. The use of dynamic lines, rich colors, and classical figures is characteristic of Besnard’s artistic style, blending Academic and Symbolist influences. This piece is not only a historical artifact but also a powerful example of propaganda art...
