Champs-Elysees Palais de Glace 1896

This lithographic poster, "Champs-Elysees Palais de Glace", created by Jules Chéret in 1896, exemplifies the bold colors and dramatic lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. Chéret, known as the "father of the modern poster," employed dynamic composition and exaggerated figures in this poster advertising the Palais de Glace, a Parisian ice skating rink. The image of a fashionable woman gliding across the ice, her swirling skirt and flowing furs echoing the movement of the ice, creates a sense of energy and excitement, inviting viewers to experience the thrill of ice skating at the Palais de Glace.
