"For children visiting the Paris World's Fair, there was a whole Kiddie
Show with plenty to see and do. An enchanting Cherette announces the entertainments
with trumpet and drum, accompanied by a symbol-clanging little clown. The location
in the large fairgrounds is easy to find, 'At the foot of the (Eiffel) Tower on
the Suffren side.' Rare!" (Rennert, PAI-XXIII,
207) "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) |
