THÉOPHILE-ALEXANDRE STEINLEN (1859-1923)
LE RÊVE. 1890.
34x25 inches, 86 1/4x63 1/2 cm. Gillot, Paris. Condition B+: small loss in upper right corner; minor tears and repaired tears in margins; minor creases in margins and image.
The first act of Leon Gastinel's ballet The Dream, based on Japanese legend, involves a giant fan behind which the heroine is led by the Goddess Isanami. Steinlen incorporates the Japanese theme into his poster thus evoking the feeling of the production and capitalizing on an art style which was very popular at that time. DFP-II 779, Opera 28, Bargiel p. 35.
