"Henri Rivière (1864-1951) was a major figure in the Montmartre cabaret Le Chat Noir and one of the most inventive printmakers of the Belle Époque. Creator of the famous Shadow Theatre that made Le Chat Noir famous in the late 1880s, Henri Rivière then made his mark in the field of printmaking through his passion for colour. On the fringes of the artistic trends of his time, he drew his inspiration from the landscapes of Brittany, where he regularly stayed, and from the Japanese prints that he collected. When he ended his career as a painter-engraver in 1914, he continued to work as a watercolourist during his travels in France. Apart from a few sessions in the studio of the history painter Emile Bin, Henri Rivière did not receive any real artistic training. He taught himself the art world and asserted his vocation through contact with artists. that he met at the Chat Noir: Steinlen, Auriol, Willette, Caran d'Ache, Henry Somm. Founded in 1881 by Rodolphe Salis, the Montmartre cabaret was the meeting place for all the bohemians of the time. Rivière frequented it assiduously from the age of 18 and took part in the production of the newspaper Le Chat Noir... Between Impressionism and Japonism, the art of Henri Rivière (1864-1951) is entirely devoted to restoring "the aspects of nature", over the hours and seasons. "
