Exposition Eugène Grasset au Salon des Cent, 1894
Eugène Grasset · Salon des Cent exhibition poster, Paris, 1894
What it is
Grasset’s poster for his own exhibition at the Salon des Cent, Paris’s premier poster-art gallery.
Why it matters
The Salon des Cent existed to show that posters belonged in a gallery at all — Grasset’s own announcement for it is the argument made literal.
What to notice
The same stained-glass heaviness of line as his Librairie Romantique plate, applied here to his own name.
The medium, vouching for itself.
