"Emile Berchmans was one of the first artists from the Walloon
region of Belgium to devote himself to posters. He exhibited some
of his decorative designs at La Libre Esthetique in 1895, and the
following year he started to produce posters, marked by their use
of simple lines and flat color planes."
"Berchmans, for his part, astonishes with his power and vigour,
and his output of posters was considerable
we can be sure to
find solid draftsmanship with strong outlines, good sense of composition
and accented colours. His most famous successes are of an astonishing
modernism
He left us a legacy of strong and vivid images that
have survived the passage of time without a wrinkle"(Paris
1900, p.152)
