Always New

Always New: The Posters of Jules Châeret highlights French artist Jules Châeret's (1836-1932) role in transforming the poster into a form of ephemeral art that embraced the public's interest in novelty and rapid change during the nineteenth century. Drawing from the largest collection of Châeret posters in the country, the book features approximately 100 works that span the artist's career and include both his most celebrated and lesser-known images. These works are organized into five sections dedicated to cabaret performances, fashion, the press, travel, and consumer products--
