Posterists Self-portrait
Henri-Jacques-Edouard Evenepoel was a Belgian artist whose most important works are associated with Fauvism. The artist debuted a portrait of his cousin (Louise in Mourning) at the 1894 Salon des Artistes Français. He showed four portraits at the Salon du Champ-de-Mars in 1895 and continued to exhibit there until his death. His first solo exhibition came at the Brussels Cercle Artistique (December 1897 – January 1898). Family and friends were the artist's preferred subjects; his full-length portraits, often against a neutral background, show the influence of Édouard Manet and James Abbott McNeill Whistler. His Parisian scenes were influenced by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Jean-Louis Forain. Though his early scenes had a somber palette, his paintings while in Algeria (where he first wintered during his solo exhibition) were very different in style, anticipating the bold colours of Fauvism (e.g., Orange Market, Blidah).
Albert Pieter Hahn was a Dutch political cartoonist, poster artist and book cover designer; well known for his socialist and antimilitaristic viewpoints. Some of his drawings, especially those of the railroad strikes of 1903, have been regularly used in history textbooks. His son-in-law, Albert Hahn jr., was also an artist, so he is sometimes referred to as "Sr.".
Jean Lehmann was a Swiss painter, graphic artist and sculptor.
Jean graduated from the Lucerne School of Applied Arts, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Lehmann worked at the Glacier Gardens in Lucerne and as a guide in mountain hotels, so many of his paintings are mountain snow-covered landscapes. The artist was particularly fond of painting rustic landscapes, rural scenes of quiet life, and he also created portraits and still lifes in a wide variety of techniques. He also painted a series of watercolors and chalk drawings of Swiss traditional costumes.
Lehmann also worked in the advertising business, creating posters for sporting events and travel companies.
