Advertising poster for the ball at the \u201cTh\u00e9\u00e2tre de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra<\/em><\/strong>\u201d in Paris, colour lithograph designed by Jules Ch\u00e9ret<\/strong>, printed by Chaix in 1897<\/strong>. Backed with linen. Size: approx. 124 x 89 cm.<\/p>\n

Starting in 1892 Ch\u00e9ret took on the commission to advertise the masked balls held every season at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l’Op\u00e9ra. He executed a different poster for them almost every year through 1898.<\/p>\n

Frequently these images were printed without text, so that throughout the season separate imprints (bearing different dates and venues, as four balls were held each year) could be added to the posters. The image is perfectly laid out, combining elegance, romance, charm, beauty and sex appeal in a light-hearted, lively manner.<\/p>\n

The eye mask does nothing to conceal the charm of this lovely reveler whose dazzle throws all other participants into shadowy insignificance.<\/p>\n

Jules Ch\u00e9ret (1836-1932) was the first to create colour posters, vibrant designs for cabaret, variety and theater such as Olympia<\/a>, Folies Berg\u00e8res<\/a> and Moulin Rouge<\/a>. Later he expanded his work to create advertisements for all kinds of products. He is seen as the father of modern lithography and advertising posters.<\/p>\n

Focusing on image rather than text, Ch\u00e9ret revolutionized the way posters were designed. He believed that a poster should not necessarily show a product, it was merely important that it generated a positive reaction from the viewer.<\/p>\n

With his large posters depicting free-thinking ladies, he instigated the emancipation of women. Before Ch\u00e9ret, women were usually depicted either as prostitutes, or as Puritan. His so-called \u2018Chr\u00e9rettes<\/em>\u2019 were neither. It was noticeably liberating for the women of Paris, who were now allowed to wear d\u00e9colletage<\/em><\/a> and smoke in public.<\/p>\n

Today, Ch\u00e9ret is one of the most collected artists of the Belle \u00c9poque.<\/p>\n
