About the Item
Henri Meunier’s Gonthier-Meymans lithographic poster, published by Verlag von Gerhard Kühtmann in Dresden, 1897. While this poster was printed in multiple sizes and formats, this edition of 40 strikes on Japon paper is the most desirable and extremely scarce edition. Japon paper allows inks to rest upon its surface rather than being absorbed by a more permeable paper stock.
The son of an etcher and nephew of a sculptor, Meunier’s harmony of simple color palette and Japonist linework communicates an informed and elegant sensitivity to design. This poster relies solely on its composition to showcase the wares of Gonthier-Meymans, a vendor of fabric, art framing, and housewares.
“Belgium was one of the forefronts of the Art Nouveau movement… Henri Meunier bridged the completely modern style presented by Livemont with the traditional influences that inspired [William] Bradley and [Eugene] Grasset, to elegant result.”
-Quoted from from Flowering Lines: Rare Art Nouveau Graphics 1883-1911 by Thomas Negovan (2017)

By Louis Moe
Located in Chicago, IL
Each country that approached the ideology of Art Nouveau clearly had their own unique contribution to the movement. The popularity of French Art Nouveau became globally recognized and produced in large numbers. While we recognize the rarity and extraordinary work of Italian Art Nouveau, or Stile Liberty, as it was known in that country, very little of this art survived and in very small quantities. What’s impossibly rare Scandinavian Art Nouveau...
