Label TextThis poster advertises an exhibition of the artists' group La Libre Esthétique, held at the Musée Moderne, Brussels. The group was a part of the lively art scene in the city, where artists formed various avant-garde alliances. Theo van Rysselberghe was primarily a painter, but also produced prints and designed posters, adopting the Art Nouveau style in the late 1890s. His posters for La Libre Esthetique are regarded as his finest.
