Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), the most innovative poster artist of La Belle Epoque
His posters show the society of Paris during the Belle Epoque, especially its nightlife. Toulouse-Lautrec invites us to become a spectator-voyeur of the scene depicted, as here in "Reine de Joie".
He invented new techniques in lithography (crachis, a splatter effect), simplified the lines and the drawing, leaving the background plain, as in his representations of "Aristide Bruant".
Our work consists in safekeeping the artistic heritage of advertising that we consider as a sociological trace of the twentieth century civilization. Our restoration studio proposes unique know-how in the conservation of old paper, of museum mounting and restoration of vintage poster. If you have an original old poster, Galerie 1 2 3 Studio is at your service.
The posters we propose are veritable pieces of historic heritage, which have a collector’s value. We offer a service of authenticity and original vintage poster certification and propose detailed condition reports including an Official Certificate of authenticity.
