Description

This Art Nouveau lithographic poster by Georges de Feure advertises 'Chimères et Grimaces,' a collection of ten songs ('Dix Chansons') by French chansonnier Xavier Privas, accompanied by ten lithographs and a cover by de Feure himself. The composition features a dark-haired woman gazing from within a stylized golden lyre adorned with large pink roses and sweeping black feathers or foliage, set against a soft striped cream background. Georges de Feure was a leading figure of the French Art Nouveau movement and a star designer of the celebrated Maison de l'Art Nouveau gallery in Paris, making this poster a fine example of the period's synthesis of decorative art and commercial print.
