Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923)

"Le Chat Noir" (French for "The Black Cat") was a famous cabaret and entertainment establishment in late 19th-century Paris. It was a significant part of the bohemian Montmartre district and is often associated with the artistic and cultural milieu of the time. Théophile Steinlen, a Swiss-born artist, created one of the most iconic posters for Le Chat Noir, which has become a celebrated work of art on its own.

Le Chat Noir Cabaret: Le Chat Noir opened its doors in 1881 and quickly became a popular gathering place for artists, writers, musicians, and intellectuals. It was known for its cabaret performances, literary readings, music, and lively atmosphere. The venue played a crucial role in the development of French bohemian culture.
