"In one of the finest images in Cheret's Palais de Glace (Ice Palace,
Champs Elysees) series, the skater is in a red and yellow striped dress, all wrapped
in furs, and her gentleman friend hovers discreetly in the background. This is
Cheret at his charming best! " (Rennert
PAI-XV, 213)
"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
