Edmond André Rocher Sold at Auction Prices

Salon des Cent. 1895.

ARTIST: EDMOND ANDRE ROCHER (1873-1948) SIZE: 17 5/8 x 24 1/8 in./44.7 x 61.2 cm PRINTER: Imp. Bourgerie, Paris DESCRIPTION: “The woman is examining the print with intensely critical concentration—she might be an art student or even a painter herself” (Gold, p. 132). This was the only poster by Rocher in the historic 1896 Reims exhibition. The brown-on-beige gives the piece a duotone effect that is achieved by printing pochoir over letterpress. In addition to his work as an illustrator, lithographer, and engraver, Rocher also dabbled in poetry. (Art Nouveau; Salon des Cent; Exhibitions; Posters on Posters)
