"Perhaps to show this lamp can be handled even by a child, Cheret
allows a little towheaded tike to run around with it, while another one carries
a canister of kerosene, cheerfully disregarding basic safety precautions. But
we forgive him because the kids are so darn cute, especially the one in the red
polka-dot dress" (Rennert, PAI-XXXI,
392) "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) |
