Description
-
[This poster is offset lithography, but mass-produced and commercially printed.] Steinlen's poster advertises the reopening of a cabaret, the Chat Noir in Montmartre. Here the artist worked with several actors to present avant-garde shadow theater, which investigated the artistic and dramatic effects of silhouettes, starring R. Salis as the popular, improvisational narrator ("bonimenteur") of each shadow performance.
