"Le Rappel is 'a call to arms', and appropriately we have a military figure
drumming up subscriptions for what was obviously a militant periodical. The bright
red letters accentuate the impact" (Rennert
PAI-IX, 209) "In the 1880's poster art was just emerging from the
drabness of letterpress announcements showing little but black type. Cheret's
airy images were so startlingly bright and fresh on the walls of Paris that they
attracted admirers
it is not too far fetched to say that they were instrumental
in ushering in the golden age of posters" (Gold
p.7) |
