More about this artwork

This painting titled "About Paris" by Edward Penfield is a striking poster-style artwork. It features two large, black silhouettes of cats positioned on either side of the image. Between and behind the cats, there is a prominently displayed text "ABOUT PARIS" in bold, decorative lettering, splashed against a contrasting red background. Additionally, there are red ladder-like structures, which possibly symbolize architectural or artistic elements associated with Paris. The illustration was created for a book cover and the text at the bottom introduces the book "About Paris" by Richard Harding Davis, with the mention that it's illustrated by C.D. Gibson. The overall composition uses vivid colors and bold silhouettes to create a visually captivating image that encapsulates a sense of intrigue and sophistication, possibly about the life and the allure of Paris.

Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American poster artist, considered as the father of the American poster movement. He was employed as an art editor for Harper’s Weekly, Monthly, and Harper’s Bazaar, where he made posters advertising each issue of the magazine for over seven years. His art was avant-garde with less concern for the dramatic curving lines of Art Nouveau, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e block prints, figure drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, color lithographies by Jules Chéret, and other contemporary artists. He created simplified scenes of daily life in saturated colors, including horses, cats, sports, and women’s fashion.
