Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen · Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, vol. 2, 1895
What it is
Plate 95 from volume 2 of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche.
Why it matters
Steinlen worked the Montmartre street-poster trade with heavy contour and flat colour, a hand that reads at fifty paces and loses nothing when shrunk to album format.
What to notice
Steinlen for the Chaix anthology — Montmartre's blunt draughtsman at collector's scale, 4381 x 6146.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
