Theophile Steinlen

Theophile Steinlen was a Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker. Steinlen’s illustrations in the associated journal Le Chat Noir, set him on the road to becoming one of the foremost illustrators in Paris at the turn of the century.  Like his contemporaries Toulouse-Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha, he was active as a designer of theatrical and cabaret posters. He loved cats. He sculpted them, painted them, and drew them, almost to the point of being a sort of signature.
