A perfect introduction to poster collecting, this is the cream of poster art: more than 200 of the world's best classic designs from the golden era of posters (the 1890s to about WWI), all reproduced in color and annotated in great detail. The neophyte can find out the what, who, where and why of posters; the knowledgeable collector will marvel at the depth and scope of this particular collection; any reader who likes art can uncover new pleasures in this rich but comparatively little explored field. The posters come from the collection of the Wine Spectator, part of M. Shanken Communications, Inc.; it was Marvin R. Shanken, founder and president, who personally assembled this poster treasure, already one of the best in the world. His publications deal primarily with wine and spirits; one of them, The Wine Spectator, is the largest selling publication of its kind in the world. Among his other publications are Impact, Impact International, Market Watch, and Food Arts. The only way his bias shows is that the wine and liquor posters are provided with interesting background on the companies involved; but the overall criterion for the choices is quality, and posters on all imaginable subjects are included. Both the text and the pictures tell a great deal about the nostalgically evoked time, a century ago, which was called "la belle epoque," the era of Toulouse-Lautrec, Sarah Bernhardt, art nouveau, Victorian prudery alongside the naughty cancan: the images in these posters recreate it for us in terms of popular culture of the time, amusingly, entertainingly, and informatively. Among the most memorable impressions are Toulouse-Lautrec's immortal Moulin Rouge, Mucha's Gismonda, Chéret's Loie Fuller, two delectably impudent posters for the humor magazine "Frou-Frou," plus the works of Ibels, Steinlen, Pal, Lobel, Villon--and some 50 designs by Cappiello, the founder of the modern poster style. -- Inside jacket flap.

From crowded dance halls to smoky cabarets, this vibrant collection of posters from the Belle Epoque explores the birth, development, and continued popularity of a graphic genre. Thanks to innovations in color lithography, the streets of fin-de-si�cle Paris were punctuated with brightly hued posters featuring bold typography and playful imagery. Many of these posters were torn down almost as soon as they were pasted up, finding their way into private homes and, eventually, museums and collections all over the world. Although many artists contributed to the affichomanie, or "poster craze," one of the most famous among them was henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This gorgeous book offers exquisite reproductions of more than one hundred posters, including those by Lautrec and his contemporaries Bonnard, Picasso, Ch�ret and Mucha. Advertising everything from tony theater productions to the licentious cancan, bicycles to biscuits, these posters range from cheerfully exuberant to slyly decadent. In her essay, Mary Weaver Chapin captures the voices of the artists, collectors, and critics who fueled the poster craze of the 1890s. The result is a visual spectacle, a lively discourse on the value and purpose of art, and a celebration of a historically and creatively dynamic era.

The poster was the popular art form in Cuba following the Cuban Revolution, when the government sponsored some 10,000 public posters on a fascinating range of cultural, social, and political themes. Revolucin!, produced with unprecedented access to Cuban national archives, assembles nearly 150 of these powerful but little—seen works of popular art. From the 1960s through the 1980s, the posters rallied the Cuban people to the huge task of building a new society, promoting massive sugar harvests and national literacy campaigns; opposing the U.S. war in Vietnam; celebrating films, music, dance, and baseball with a unique graphic wit and exuberant colorful style. With an introduction illuminating the rich social and artistic history of the posters, and rare biographical information on the artists themselves, this striking volume offers a window into the story of Cuba—and a truly revolutionary chapter in graphic design.
