Cocorico 1899

"Cocorico" is a poster created by French artist Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen in 1899. The poster features a stylized rooster in bold black and red colors, its beak open in a loud cry. This Art Nouveau poster, likely for a satirical journal, uses the animal as a symbol of bold defiance and is representative of Steinlen's iconic style, which often depicted animals and working-class individuals in Parisian scenes. The poster's design, with its bold graphic lines and striking colors, effectively captures the attention of the viewer and reinforces the message of defiance.
