Paul Berthon (1872 – 1910) was an artist who produced primarily posters and lithographs. <\/sup>Berthon’s work is in the style of Art Nouveau<\/a>, much like his contemporary Alphonse Mucha<\/a>. Berthon studied as a painter in Villefranche-sur-Sa\u00f4ne before moving to Paris. He later enrolled at the Ecole Normale d’Enseignement de Dessin<\/a> and received lessons in painting from Luc-Olivier Merson<\/a> and lessons in decorative arts from Eugene Grasset<\/a>.Grasset had a far greater influence on him, and he may be regarded as his pupil. His study of the decorative arts influenced his print making, influencing the strong lines and natural details that guided his art. The vast majority of Berthon’s lithographed posters did not include advertisements and were meant to stand on their own.<\/p>\n

The first issue of L’Ermitage<\/em>, a monthly literature review, came off the presses in April 1890 under the direction of Henri Mazel from N\u00eemes, who, with the help of his brother, united around him a group of young students, theater lovers and all from outside of Paris. They originally formed a troupe called \u201cLe Joyeux Lussac-Club<\/em>\u201d which met in the Latin Quarter<\/a>. Subsequently, they found a place to gather in the Salle de l’Ermitage, located at 29 rue Jussieu: it was there that they had the idea of \u200b\u200bfounding an eponymous review, with the primary intention of publishing their dramaturgical creations. All these young people took nicknames derived from the word \u201chermit\u201d. Over 200 issues were poublished spread over seventeen years. It was one of the four avant-garde French literary reviews of the late 19th century, along with La Plume<\/em><\/a>, La Mercure de France<\/em> <\/a>and La Revue blanche<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Maitres de l’Affiche<\/em> series was the direct result of international interest in posters and poster artists that reached its height in the mid-1890s in Europe and America. The masterpieces of artists like Jules Ch\u00e9ret<\/a>, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec<\/a>, and Alphonse Mucha<\/a> transformed commercial advertisements into an esteemed art form worthy of public adoration and scholarly pursuit. Along with the decade’s wave of poster journals, books, and exhibitions came a serious desire to collect the artworks for personal enjoyment and study — but the sheer size of posters made storage awkward and often times impossible.<\/p>\n

The Maitres de l’Affiche<\/em> (“Masters of the Poster”) series was born of this dilemma. By offering subscribers reductions of the era’s most important posters, collectors and enthusiasts were able to build miniature archives of posters from around the world. The complete Maitres de l’Affiche<\/em> series boasted 256 expertly produced miniature lithographic plates representing the best of the Belle \u00c9poque<\/a>. During its five-year run from late 1895 to 1900 the series was hugely successful, and it continues to be popular today, offering experts and novices alike a convenient and dazzling overview of some of the finest achievements in poster art.<\/p>\n

It is not surprising that the exquisite Maitres de l’Affiche<\/em> collection was the brainchild of Jules Chr\u00e9ret, inventor of the three-stone lithographic process and virtual founder of the modern poster.\u00a0 As early as the 1860s, Chr\u00e9ret’s magnificent creations brought elegance and colour to the urban landscape of Paris and soon generated an international industry.\u00a0 By 1866, Chr\u00e9ret opened his own print shop, which would eventually become a branch of the large French publisher Imprimerie Chaix.\u00a0 His role as artistic director at Chaix provided Chr\u00e9ret with the platform and resources necessary to launch the Maitres series.<\/p>\n

The first four plates were released in December of 1895 and featured posters by Chr\u00e9ret, Toulouse-Lautrec, Julius Price<\/a>, and Dudley Hardy<\/a>.\u00a0 The series would continue for a total of sixty months, ending in November of 1900 — truly spanning the peak of the poster craze.\u00a0 In the end, there were a total of 240 regular plates and 16 bonus plates.<\/p>\n

The Maitres de l’Affiche<\/em> series operated much like a contemporary magazine.\u00a0 A poster enthusiast had the option of purchasing the current month’s four plates from a specialized dealer, or he could choose to subscribe to the series for the length of one year.\u00a0 In France, a one-year subscription cost 27,- francs, equivalent to roughly five to ten original full-sized versions of the posters highlighted in the Maitres<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

The first plate of every month was a poster by Chr\u00e9ret himself, making him the most frequently represented artist in the series.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, Chr\u00e9ret’s 60 regular and seven bonus plates comprise nearly 25-percent of the entire collection.\u00a0 All in all, 97 artists from around the world were represented in the Maitres de l’Affiche<\/em> series, though more than half of them were French.\u00a0 In contrast, only four were from Italy, six from Germany and eight from England. A range of popular styles are evident in the collection, including the classic Art Nouveau<\/a> of Alphonse Mucha and Privat Livemont<\/a>, the illustrations of Edward Penfield<\/a> and Adolphe Willette<\/a>, and the graphic qualities of Toulouse-Lautrec and Pierre Bonnard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The original, full-sized posters and the Maitres<\/em> prints they inspired were never considered in competition with one another; rather, they were viewed as two entirely different entities.\u00a0 While posters were large and bold, prints were beloved for their exquisite size and detail.\u00a0 In addition, posters were often printed on inexpensive newsprint due to their anticipated short lifespan.<\/p>\n

Prints, on the other hand, were made on very fine paper using printing techniques too intricate for larger items.\u00a0 Print collecting was an extremely popular hobby in its own right well before posters became fashionable.\u00a0 Chr\u00e9ret introduced the modern poster, but it was not until Toulouse-Lautrec’s Moulin Rouge in 1891 that posters were elevated to an art form print collectors deemed worthy of their attention.\u00a0 In many ways, the Maitres<\/em> series can be seen as the successful marriage of the poster and print crazes.<\/p>\n

In his preface to Volume I of the Maitres<\/em> series, Roger Marx<\/a>, a notable 19th-century art historian and critic, described the streets of Paris as ‘a museum in the breeze.’ He wrote that ’the poster has a precarious fate… it gleams in sun, fades in the mist, dangles sadly in shreds, [and] sways in the wind after a heavy shower.’\u00a0 Although innately ephemeral in its purpose, the poster was saved by its beauty and charm.\u00a0 Les Maitres de l’Affiche<\/em>, in its convenient format, has certainly stood the test of time.<\/p>\n
