Question 1

Posters of the Belle Epoque

Answer 1

Marvin R Shanken and his wife Hazel collect French poster art from the 1890’s to WWI, the era of Toulouse-Lautrec.

Wine Spectator editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken began collecting these works of art nearly 45 years ago.

There are works by Jules Chéret, father of the modern poster, who transformed the early, crude lithographs into a lively yet economical art form, full of action and vitality.

Toulouse-Lautrec, indelibly associated with Parisian nightlife, is represented with his well-known depictions of the Moulin Rouge, dancer Jane Avril and performer Aristide Bruant.
