Théophile Steinlen’s iconic 1896 poster Le Chat Noir remains one of the most recognizable images of the Art Nouveau era. Created to promote the cabaret Le Chat Noir and its touring troupe, this striking composition features a stylized black cat - mysterious, regal, and slightly mischievous - set against a warm ochre background.
The bold contrast of black and red, the sinuous outlines, and the ornamental halo behind the cat’s head all embody the Parisian avant-garde aesthetic of fin-de-siècle Montmartre. Steinlen’s design perfectly captures the bohemian spirit of Le Chat Noir, a gathering place for artists, poets, and musicians.
This timeless work of poster art adds a touch of Belle Époque sophistication and playful mystique to any interior. A must-have for lovers of French design, Art Nouveau, and vintage cabaret culture.
