The "Job" is the most rare, most expensive, and most sought
after of all the "Maitre de L'Affiches" and along with the
Moulin Rouge
by Toulouse
Lautrec
"Jane Abdy called it "a secular icon," and indeed it
is a magnificent production, considering that it advertises cigarette
paper. "The background, in a dull imperial purple is a perfect
foil for the golden curls of the smoking girl, whose locks are spread
over the poster like the delicate filigree work of an Indian bracelet"(Abdy,
p.136)
One of Mucha's all-time winners, this poster helped to popularize
the "Mucha girl" with the luxuriant hair, which became the
artist's instantly recognized trademark…Note the meticulous attention
to detail, for example the letters JOB worked ingeniously into the
purple background" (Rennert/Weill
15)
