• Notes:
  The artist was a French painter and lithographer who became a master of Belle Époque poster art. He has been called the father of the modern poster. He was awarded the Légion d'honneur by the French Government in 1890 for his outstanding contributions to the graphic arts. Although his paintings earned him a certain respect, it was his work creating advertising posters, taken on just to pay his bills but eventually his dedication, for which he is remembered today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Ch%C3%A9ret In 1933 he was honoured with a posthumous exhibition of his work at the prestigious Salon d'Automne in Paris. Over the years, Chéret's posters became much sought after by collectors from around the world.
