"Like virtually all of the posters Cheret did for the dances at this theatre
between 1892 and 1897, the design features a profiled woman in a billowing dress
looking out over her shoulder as a
male figure and other revellers dance
around her. Cheret would do a single design each winter and it would be repeated
with varying text throughout the season
Cheret, reworking the same visual
ingredients always keeps us interested" (Rennert,
PAI-XXXI, 393) "Extremely vivid colours add to the appeal of this
festive Cheret design
Spring has sprung and the feeling of agitated movement
coupled with flirtatious possibilities is masterfully conveyed" (Rennert,
PAI-XXIX, 294) | |
