Monsieur Bute; L’amant De Sa Femme; La Belle Opération 1890

Édouard Vuillard’s *Monsieur Bute; L’amant De Sa Femme; La Belle Opération* is a striking example of the artist’s signature style, characterized by bold outlines, simplified forms, and a focus on the decorative. This 1890 work uses a limited palette of muted colors, emphasizing the graphic qualities of the composition. The figure of Monsieur Bute is depicted in a bent posture, his form outlined against a background of stylized foliage, hinting at a garden setting. This theatrical poster, with its bold lettering of "THEATRE LIBRE", emphasizes the playfulness and theatricality inherent in Vuillard's work.
