Mévisto 1898

"Mévisto" is a poster by French artist Maximilien Luce, created in 1898. The poster features a large, exaggerated figure in a dark coat, standing against a bright yellow background. The man's facial features are distorted, his eyes are wide and his mouth is open. The text "A la Scala" and "Tous Les Soirs" (at the Scala, Every Night) indicate that the poster was advertising a theatrical performance. This striking use of color and bold figures is characteristic of the Art Nouveau style popular at the time.
