"Rhead was one of the first poster artists to gain an international
reputation. Born in England he was quite active in London, New York
and Paris with equal success: his exhibition of posters in New York
in 1895 was America's first, and was well received. He was heavily
influenced by Grasset, whom he admired and met while in Paris"
(Rennert, PAI-XXVI 513)
"Rhead always paid close attention to the decorative side of
poster design... It all adds up to virtually all the ingredients of
art nouveau, which was just coming into vogue. Rhead was the only
American artist to achieve the distinction of having a solo exhibition
of his poster work both in London (1896) and in Paris (1897)... Born
in England, Rhead arrived in New York in 1883 to work for publisher
D.Appleton. Independently, he also designed book covers and bindings,
and even contributed patterns for art needlework to women's magazines.
His first poster proved him to be a master. He understood lithography
and made his designs easy on the printer. Perhaps for that reason,
he was avidly sought after to design posters for newspapers and periodicals"
(Rennert, PAI-XXXI)
