The World in Prints - Text By David Rymer 

 

The lowly poster, a quick and efficient communication medium for promoting brands and advertise goods, morphed into a respected art form during the late 1800s in France. The `art poster' was born through the convergence of emerging aesthetic movements, technological advances, and sweeping societal changes. Fine art embraced commercial design, influenced by the egalitarian spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement and later Art Nouveau. Artist Jules Cheret, "Father of the Modern Poster," perfected a high-quality printing process that produced large, colour saturated images. An emerging middle class was the ready target for consuming new manufactured goods, literary publications, theatrical events, and new-found leisure entertainment. A sea of sumptuous images added a "joie de vivre" to everyday life, ushering in a period of French life now known as the Belle Epoque. These posters, although ephemeral in intent, have been collected and continually reproduced over the subsequent decades, a testament to their timeless beauty and emotional depth of their designs. This book chronicles the influence of the art poster in France and its rapid spread across Europe and the United States and offers readers a poster tour of the development of the art poster.
