About this work

Artist: Eugène Grasset (1845–1917)
Year: 1894
Medium: Colour lithograph (poster)
Original size: 60 × 40 cm
Collection: Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris (department of Prints and Photography)
Movement: Art Nouveau

A red-haired young woman in a yellow dress holds a sprig of flowers, in profile against a blue ground, under the lettering Salon des Cent and the announcement of an exhibition of Grasset's work. Grasset designed the poster in 1894 for his own exhibition at the gallery of the magazine La Plume, 31 rue Bonaparte, the first of the Salon des Cent shows; the heavy outline and flat colour come from stained glass, which he also designed, and from medieval illumination. Printed by G. de Malherbe, Paris. The impression reproduced is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A red-haired profile in yellow and blue with heavy outlines, for a living room, hallway or study at 16×24 or 24×36 in thin black or dark wood, no mat. It suits a white or blue wall and pairs with Berthon's Salon des Cent.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Salon des Cent: Exposition Eugène Grasset in the public domain?

Yes. Eugène Grasset (1845–1917) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Bibliothèque nationale de France.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Salon des Cent: Exposition Eugène Grasset painted, and in what medium?

Salon des Cent: Exposition Eugène Grasset dates from 1894 and was made in colour lithograph (poster); the original measures 60 × 40 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Salon des Cent: Exposition Eugène Grasset we'd choose 16×24.
