Théophile Alexandre Steinlen - Paintings

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen was an important major Swiss-born French painter, lithographer, engraver and draftsman of the Art Nouveau. Nowadays he is best known for his poster design “Tournée Du Chat Noir” (Tour of the Black Cat).
Born: 10 November 1859 in Lausanne
Died: 14 December 1923 in Paris
Before settling in Paris in 1882 and being recognized as a Frenchman at the beginning of the 20th century, the Swiss-born Théophile Alexandre Steinlen attends the art school in Lausanne. In addition, he learns the textile drawing and painting. Steinlen works as a chronicler for many French magazines using partly his two pseudonyms: Jean Caillou or Petit-Pierre, which is understandable, as the artist has a very critical view of his urban environment, which he expresses in drawings and depictions about the surrounding society and the people of Montmartre. Acquainted with Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Aristide Bruant and Adolphe Willette, Steinlen meets with artists who are actively involved in the lifestyle of Montmartre, including its nightlife. “Le Chat Noir” is both a magazine and a cabaret. For both, Théophile Alexandre Steinlen produces illustrations and posters. The latter are still sold as prints even nowadays, which shows the popularity of Steinlen’s art. The artist is also active as a painter. In addition to a bronze sculpture and a wall painting, there are also some drawings, watercolors and oil paintings which can be admired in various museums in Europe.
