In Paris the turn of the century marked a period where a gap was bridged between commercial and fine art. Artists as regarded as Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard and van Gogh contributed their talents to program covers and posters advertising cabaret shows and to limited-run etchings for art journals and political papers.This book examines the artists roles as printmakers, discussing influences, innovations and new market recognition. Essays on important artists accompany reproductions documenting the renaissance of printmaking. A glossary and reading list are included.
