1889

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Poster for "L'Exposition de Peintures du Groupe Impressionniste et Synthétiste" at Café des Arts is a 1889 by French 19th Century, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white poster with bold, uneven lettering. The background has thin orange and white stripes. At the top, it says *"Groupe Impressionniste et Synthétiste"* and *"Café des Arts."* Below, names like Paul Gauguin and Émile Bernard are listed under *"Exposition de Peintures."* The text advertises an art show held at the Champ-de-Mars near the Press Pavilion. The words are cut out in thick black, giving it a rough, handmade look. Look up Impressionism next to see how this style changed art.
This sculptor liked to keep sharp tools in the studio and blunt ones in his pocket—his niece recalled finding him absentmindedly whittling a stick while talking philosophy.
