  • Jane Avril by Toulouse Lautrec 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    Jane Avril by Toulouse Lautrec 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    $ 1,650

    JANE AVRIL – JARDIN DE PARIS — Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

    Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s famous poster of Jane Avril, one of Montmartre’s most celebrated dancers, created to advertise her performances at the Jardin de Paris.

    Jane Avril (1868–1943), a close friend and muse of Lautrec, became an icon of Parisian nightlife through her eccentric, serpentine style of dance. Lautrec’s posters of her are among his most enduring works, capturing both her elegance and her unconventional energy. In this design, Avril dominates the composition, her figure twisting in rhythm, while the bold curves and flat colors reflect Lautrec’s revolutionary approach to poster art.

    Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first journals dedicated to poster art, issued in small runs for collectors. Produced at the Chaix atelier, each plate was a stone-lithograph reduction of an important affiche, printed on fine paper for subscribers. These editions gave collectors authentic examples of the finest Belle Époque posters in a smaller, more practical format than the large affiches pasted on Paris walls.

    Title: Jane Avril – Jardin de Paris
    Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901)
    Date: c.1896 (after the original 1893 poster)
    Printer: Imprimerie Chaix, Paris (Les Affiches Illustrées)
    Size: 21.5 × 30 cm (approx. 8.5 × 11.8 in)
    Print Type: Stone lithograph
    Condition: Excellent “A,” near-mint on fine wove paper
    Comments: Authentic plate from Les Affiches Illustrées, produced at Chaix. Crisp impression with strong colors. One of Lautrec’s most iconic poster designs, immortalizing Jane Avril and the artistic vibrancy of fin-de-siècle Paris.

    Bucolic Splash by Cape Cod Artist Susan Stewart 2020 Ink and Oil on canvas  

    $ 600

    Bucolic Splash by Cape Cod Artist Susan Stewart 2020 Ink and Oil on canvas  

    About the Artist: Susan Stewart, an American artist currently residing on Cape Cod. She has traversed a diverse artistic journey. A former soloist with the Joffrey Ballet in New York City from 1977 to 1983. She later pursued studies at the Ecole Superieure d’art Annecy Alpes in the city of Annecy, France. Then she transitioned from murals, sign painting and Poster Designer to Fine Art. Returning to the United States after 30 years in France, she now calls Cape Cod home.

    Susan’s paintings serve as a canvas to transform and reinterpret her most poignant memories. Focused on achieving harmony between color, movement, shape, and rhythm, her work often draws from music, society, and nature. Her pieces encourage viewers to reflect on the complexities of human existence, blending elements of the past into dreamlike, fabricated memories. Beyond the visual realm, Susan’s artistic goal is to encapsulate these stories. The artist creates modified reminders of her life’s experiences and souvenirs. With her direct, primitive freshness and use of Fauvist color, Susan wants to create a world that “enhances the life” of others. Often bringing the spectatorsto ask themselves questions around the events occurring in the painting. This involves the viewer mentally as well as visually.

    The Artists approach involves rearranging “old” memories to craft new narratives. Drawing inspiration from her past, Susan explores specific individuals and moments. Often reinterpreting her own photos to suit a new vision. Her work integrates a thoughtful study of art history. Susan is influenced by dance, literature, music, and painting, with artists like Peter Doig, Matthew Wong, and David Hockney serving as inspiration.

    Classified within the realm of Magic Realism, Susan has showcased her work online. Ms Stewart has been selling through her personal site and galleries throughout Europe. She has since arriving in the States in 2019 exhibited at the Cape Cod Museum. She also has exhibited at the  Sarasota Art Center in Florida, PAAM art museum in Provincetown and The Commons in Provincetown

  • IRIS BY HOHENSTEIN VINTAGE FRENCH POSTER MAITRE DE L'AFFICHE 1895/99

    IRIS BY HOHENSTEIN VINTAGE FRENCH POSTER MAITRE DE L’AFFICHE 1895/99

    $ 1,200

    IRIS — Adolfo Hohenstein

    Original stone-lithograph plate issued in 1899 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Maîtres de l’Affiche. This plate (no. 197) presents Adolfo Hohenstein’s celebrated poster for the Italian opera Iris, composed by Pietro Mascagni.

    Premiered in Rome in 1898, Iris quickly spread to the great opera houses of Europe, admired for Mascagni’s rich score and exotic subject matter. Hohenstein, often called the “father of Italian poster art,” created the striking visual campaign. His design for Iris blends Symbolist and Art Nouveau influences: a graceful female figure radiates light and mystery, surrounded by decorative motifs that suggest both the opera’s dramatic themes and its lush Orientalist setting.

    Les Maîtres de l’Affiche (1895–1900) was a prestigious subscription series directed by Jules Chéret, showcasing small-format original lithographs of the era’s most important posters. Printed at the Chaix atelier on fine wove paper and issued with the blindstamp, these plates brought the leading poster artists of Europe to collectors in a refined format.

    Title: Iris (opera by Pietro Mascagni)
    Artist: Adolfo Hohenstein (1854–1928)
    Date: 1899 (Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, plate no. 197)
    Printer: Imprimerie Chaix, Paris
    Size: 11.5 × 15.5 inches (approx. 29 × 39 cm)
    Print Type: Stone lithograph
