Alexandre Steinlen
Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923) – French and Swiss printmaker, painter and sculptor – began his career as an illustrator for the Parisian journal Gil-Bas, after arriving in Paris in 1881 and quickly establishing himself in Montmartre, where he lived and worked for the rest of his life . Because he was an excellent draftsman, he was naturally attracted to etching and lithography, two media in which he could exercise this ability. With some assistance from Eugene Delâtre, he taught himself these techniques, and was soon executing posters and prints.
