Cheret's poster for the Casino d'Enghien, for a Charity Ball to benefit the victims
of a fire at Fort-de-France. A fanciful design showing a brightly clad child,
beckoning us to follow her, as she, her mother, and her friends bound happily
along on toy horses against a backdrop of exploding fireworks in the night sky.
"The achievement of Cheret was to create a world of explosive happiness,
and to paste it on the walls of Paris. As a painter he will be remembered for
what Huysmans calls his 'spirit of nervous gaiety', as a lithographer for his
superb technique, and as a poster artist for being the ancestor of all modern
advertising." (Abdy p.36) |
