Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat) Oil on board. 12 inches x 10 inches Private
Collection California The paintings have arrived and
they are beautiful! I am very happy with them
I enjoy the work created by the poster artists of Paris a few generations past, and like to bring them into my still paintings. Along with the Lautrecs, Théophile Steinlen's poster of the Montmartre nightclub "Le Chat Noir" is one of these poster masterpieces.
Steinlein's friend Salis was a regular performer at the club, and Steinlen created many posters for him.
