Key Words: Bicycle; Art Nouveau
Cycles Plasson. 1897.
In Robbe's companion piece for Plasson, Robbe creates a lovely, compositionally balanced scene featuring a man and woman posing, photo-realism style; the man supports the bike – and his lady – while she, a casual hand in her waistband, looks to her left with a cold, matter-of-fact stare. Together, these two posters tell one complete story of gender dynamics and French culture during the bike craze of the 1890s.
