JULES-ALEXANDRE GRUNFOLIES BERGERE / NAPOLI. 1901. 33x23 3/4 inches. Chaix, Paris. Condition B: restored losses in margins and corners; vertical and horizontal folds. A bright, robust image of women in red and yellow performing in a ballet-pantomime at the Folies Bergere. "Grun had indeed produced posters for the revues of La Scala, La Cigale, La Pepiniere, La Boite a Fursy, Le Moulin Rouge and Le Bal Tabarin...always on the same theme: the little women of Paris, a generous decolletage revealing an opulent bosom, smartly hatted and elegantly dressed...In this poster as well as in all the others he produced, Grun is without question the artist who has best succeeded in evoking the sensuality of the Belle Epoque, the pleasures of merrymaking, the joyfulness of a society where the demimondaines set the standard" (Folies Bergere p. 10). Folies Bergere 53.
