Description
Artist: GEORGES A. BOTTINI (1874-1907)
Size: 35 1/2 x 51 in./90 x 129.6 cm
Condition: B-/ Restored tears at folds and edges.
Printer: Lith. G. Bataille, Paris
Reference: Ref: DFP-II, 83; Bicycle Posters, 31; Petite Reine, 98; Musée d’Affiche, 19; Wine Spectator, 59; Sport à l’Affiche, 30; PAI-LXXI, 1
Key Words: Bicycle; Art Nouveau
Cycles Médinger. 1897.
Bottini was a painter, designer and illustrator who had much in common with Lautrec, his contemporary, who influenced his style enormously. Bottini is primarily interested in setting the mood – high fashion and high living – with the aid of a bicycle. Although he was heavily involved as a painter, working largely in water-colors, and as a printmaker, largely with woodblock engravings, this is is Bottini's sole poster – regrettably.
