Posters bring excitement to Milwaukee Art Museum
THIS SUMMER, the Milwaukee Art Museum transports visitors to 19th- century Paris with its feature exhibition, Posters of Paris: Toulouse-Lautrec and His Contemporaries.
On display June 1-Sept. 9, the exhibition brings togeth- er the finest French examples from the golden age of the poster.
Advertising everything from theatre productions to the debaucherous cancan, bicycles to champagne, brightly hued, larger-than-life-size posters with bold typography and playful imagery punctuated the streets of turn-of-the-century Paris. The exhibit fea- tures more than 100 of these posters (including a few designs that were originally censored) by artists hailed as masters of the medium: Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec, Jules Chéret, Pierre Bonnard, and Alphonse Mucha, and others.
The museum at 700 N. Art Museum Dr. is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. every day through Labor Day and until 8 p.m. on Thursdays. Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for students with ID, seniors 65 and older. Free for active military and families, and free the first Thursday every month. All special exhibitions are included in the entrance fee.
