Alcazar d'Été, Kanjarowa, Chéret, 1891

A singer in pink turns her back to the crowd.

What

Jules Chéret's poster for the singer Kanjarowa at the Alcazar d'Été on the Champs-Élysées, printed by Chaix in Paris in 1891; Broido 172.

Why

The Alcazar d'Été was a summer café-concert in the gardens of the Champs-Élysées, where a drink bought the evening's show.

Notice

She is drawn in profile with her face lifted, long black gloves to the elbow and a fan held low against her skirt.

“Chéret's own kind of star: all movement and colour, sold by her name alone.”
