EUGENE GRASSET ( 1841-1917) SALON DES CENT / EXPOSITION E. GRASSET. 1894. 23 3/4x16 inches, 60x41 cm. G. de Malherbe, Paris. Condition B+ / A-: minor staining in margins and image; minor creases in image horizontal fold. Framed. With all of his Art Nouveau credentials it is no wonder that the Salon des Cent dedicated their first one-man show (and second exhibition) to Grasset in 1894. The Salon des Cent was famous for having artists design their own exhibition posters and Grasset's sensitive and impeccable work proved to be one of his best images, visually summing up his decorative principles. Grasset p. 6, Weill p. 32, Maitres pl. 98, Word and Image p. 34, DFP II 410, Reims p. 684, Berthon & Grasset p. 6; Weill, p. 39, Salon des Cent 8 (var).
