"In his review of Gottlob's showing at the 1899 Salon des Cents,
Henry Dragon summed up his feelings towards the artist's work in La
Plume in the following manner, 'Gottlob didn't go to the expense of
colours. Monochromatic painting, subdued nuances, simple, almost rudimentary
drawing, quasireligious drawing. He serves himself by the most ordinary
means and processes, and he has arrived to give us sensations of a
profound intensity. He is here to give us all the melancholy, all
the nostalgia of Bretagne, in a manner that is truly personal and
rare' (Salon des Cents, p.83)."(Rennert,
PAI-XXIX, 372)
"The Salon of the Hundred, was a small gallery on the premises
of the magazine 'La Plume' where promising designers displayed their
work. The publication's marketing arm, Editions d'Art, also issued
these posters and decorative panels in various editions, often on
quality paper as art for the home. The bottom half of these posters,
there were 43 in all, is normally filled with text" (Gold
p.132)
