Théo Van Rysselberghe was a Belgian neo-impressionist painter who
played a pivotal role in European art at the turn of the 19th century.
"Van Rysselberghe exerted a positive force for the revitalization
of the decorative art at the turn of the century, but his posters
are not numerous. Those he created for 'La Libre Esthetique' are unquestionably
the finest. The elegant feminine figures of his posters, very knowingly
placed on the page, seem to be the pretext for Van Rysselberghe to
balance large spots of red-orange against their greenish or bluish
complementaries. The text is beautifully drawn and gracefully integrated
into the design of the posters" (Belle
Epoque 1970, p.86)
"Estampe et Affiche spoke highly of the 'impressionist
painter (who) painted on an azure background, a charming young lady
with red hair, whose languid arms and white neck spring from a large,
violet dressing gown (1898, p.203). It is an impressively tasteful,
delicate design. This is the variation before lettering to the lower
right text panel." (Rennert
XXXIV-589)
