A la Scala. 1908.

ARTIST: ALBERT GUILLAUME (1873-1942) SIZE: 36 x 50 1/2 in./91.7 x 128 cm PRINTER: Imp. Minot, Paris DESCRIPTION: Considered one of Guillaume’s masterpieces, the painterly quality of this poster elevates it above his usual caricatures into the realm of fine art. Rather than showcase any of the marvelous acts at La Scala, he chose instead to depict the glitterati emerging from their carriage—implying that the audience is just as interesting as the performers. (Art Nouveau; Cabaret)
