Through the lens of seven scholars, this book examines fine art and
commercial design as they both reflected and helped create the
vibrant culture of public spectacle in late nineteenth-century
Paris. Posters and prints circulated across the city, as the new
art form of cinema flourished, all part of a diverse urban climate
of leisure that was particularly French. These rich visual
materials served to promote the careers and talents of such
celebrities as Jane Avril, Loie Fuller, and Sarah Bernhardt.
Alphonse Mucha and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec developed the
potential of color lithography to meet the demands of these stars,
while fine artists ranging from Edgar Degas andedouard Manet to
Pablo Picasso andedouard Vuillard focused on such spectacles as the
racetrack, ballet, cafe-concert, theater, and opera, asserting them
as defining elements of Parisian modernity in this image-saturated
milieu.
