ESTAMPES DECORATIVES / Eugene Grasset

Cette mode fut stimulée par la création de publications «l’estampe originale» fondée en 1893 par André Marty et «l’estampe et l’affiche» créee en 1897 par Clement Janin et qui comptait parmi ses premiers collaborateurs Eugène Grasset.

Around the years 1890, it wasn’t unusual to find interiors of art-lovers plastered with posters. Well, at the same period a new fashion became widespread in France : that of the decorative lithograph. This latter is somehow connected to the former by its technique «the chromolithography» and its allegorical thematic, but is clearly different by its smaller sizes and especially for not being meant for advertising.
This fashion was promoted by the publishing of books such as «l’estampe originale» founded in 1893 by André Marty, and «l’estampe et l’affiche» created in 1897 by Clément Janin which had Eugene Grasset as one of its very first collaborators.
