JULES CHÉRET (1836-1932) ALCAZAR D'ÉTÉ / REVUE FIN DE SIÈCLE. 1890. 48x33 1/4 inches, 122x84 1/2 cm. Chaix, Paris. Condition A- / B+: restoration along vertical and horiztonal folds. Framed. The Alcazar d'Été was one of Paris' most popular café-concerts and Cheret designed a number of different posters for the theatre. Most of them depicted acts or performers who were appearing on stage there, but this image evokes more of the decadent flamboyance of the theatre itself. Highlighting as it does a spirited performer with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, literally bringing one of the patrons to his knees. Broido 170, DFP-II 189, Maindron 150, Chéret 216.
