"Old Jules Chéret Poster "el Dorado" Before The Letter"
Jules CHERET Paris 1836 - Nice 1933 Jules Chéret, born in Paris on June 1, 1836 and died in Nice on September 23, 1932, is a French painter and lithographer, popular master of the art of the poster. His joyful creations, his ease at tackling different techniques, naturally brought Jules Chéret to the art of the poster of which he was a pioneer. The hundreds of posters he produced are a rich collection, moving testimonials of the famous places of the time: Folies Bergère, Grévin museum, department stores, balls. Admirer of Watteau, his motto seems to have been lightness and movement. The fetish character of her posters is a joyous, elegant woman who always seems to be moving. It is easily recognizable and is one of the characteristics of Cheret's style: it is the "Chérette". The work of Chéret has an influence on the painters of his time: Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard in France; Dudley Hardy in England; Henri Meunier and Privat Livemont in Belgium.
