An original design showing a lady happily swirling her dress to unseen music.
Her pose and facial expression are synonymous with the charming ladies that grace
Cheret's marvellous posters. Even without colour, the skill of the master, to
create an atmosphere of liveliness, exudes forth from this simple composition.
Subscribers to the Maitre de l'Affiche
series received four special plates annually. These premium original lithographs,
each an original design, were created specifically for this series, and are not
seen in any other format, unlike the regular plates, which are reduced versions
of larger posters. We are most fortunate to have had the inclusion of the
Special Plates (Sp), as each one is a true example of the artist's creativity
and skill. The artist is unencumbered with a product or service to advertise,
and can express himself more freely, demonstrating his drawing ability, the essence
of graphic art, with only one or two colours. For many collectors these unique
Special Plates are more desirable than any of the regular plates. |
