Poster art in Paris thrived in during the Haussmannian period, the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was one of the first forms of mass and commercial advertising for products and the posters were also used to promote politics and social causes. The new exhibition at the d’Orsay is an exhilarating celebration awash in vivid colors and wonderful artwork of the posters of the period.
Bonnard, Chéret, Grasset, Mucha, Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec were among the most prolific and influential artists who designed the posters. The expansive show has close to 230 works which also includes paintings, photos, costumes, sculptures, and objects.
