Essay / History of Jules Chéret and the French poster - 2181

(2011) Father of the modern poster: Jules Chéret) Posters were an expression of economic, social and cultural life, competing for entertainment audiences and consumers of goods (Jeremy Howard (1996), Art Nouveau: The myth, the modern and national, Manchester University Press, The Art poster From Graphic art to design 1890 to 1914). Additionally, poster design was an outlet for the innovative energies of gifted artists (David Raizman (2003), History of Modern design, Art Nouveau and Cheret, Lawrence King, London, P.56).

Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440 to easily multiply written materials, making books cheaper and more available nationally.
