by GRASSET, Eugène-Samuel, Poster
Grasset’s numerous posters include Librairie romantique (1887), L’Encre Marquet (1892), Grafton Gallery, London (1893) and the series of ten decorative panels produced in 1897.
The Grafton Galleries, often referred to as the Grafton Gallery, was an art gallery in Mayfair, London. It was opened in 1893 and dissolved c. 1930. It housed several celebrated exhibitions: the French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel showed the first major exhibition in Britain of Impressionist paintings (1905); Roger Fry’s held two famous exhibitions of Post-Impressionist works (1910 and 1912).
