Description

A boldly graphic Art Nouveau poster features a striking black cat poised against a glowing red circular halo, surrounded by bold French typography advertising the touring cabaret show 'Chat Noir' with impresario Rodolphe Salis. The Chat Noir was a famous bohemian cabaret founded in 1881 in the Montmartre district of Paris, France, celebrated as a cultural hub of fin-de-siècle artistic and literary life. Steinlen's 1896 lithograph poster captures the cat's fierce, luminous eyes and sleek silhouette with bold, confident linework characteristic of the Belle Époque poster tradition.
