Vintage Absinthe Berthelot ポスター

“Absinthe Berthelot”, Henri Thiriet, 1895.<br><br>What a colorful, lively scene Thiriet painted! The sun is setting and the tables at the sidewalk cafés are filling up. <br><br>Henri Thiriet was a prolific French poster artist, book illustrator and painter. Although responsible for many memorable posters, almost nothing is known about Thiriet's life and career. He painted in a flamboyant Art Nouveau style, using its characteristic curves and swirls, and a colorful palette to create imagery bearing his clear stamp. Bicycles and their manufacturers are a recurring subject in his work, and the majority of his posters were designed for Omega, Griffiths and Dayton Cycles.
