Pour Les Amoureux et Pour Les Oiseaux 1895

"Pour Les Amoureux et Pour Les Oiseaux" (1895) by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen depicts a crowded Parisian street scene. The artist's signature style of black and white with washes of color is evident here. The scene is a snapshot of everyday life, capturing the intimacy of a couple and their interactions with the bustling crowd. Steinlen's work, often inspired by social realism, evokes a sense of empathy for the ordinary people of his time, showcasing the beauty found in the everyday. The artist's masterful use of line and shadow creates a compelling sense of depth and movement within the composition.
