For a 1903 revue at the Scala, Gr¸n gives us one of his patented exuberant coquettes, barely able to contain her, um, excitement–naturally, all in bright scarlet. Obviously, as far as we’re concerned, she’s the one who puts the spice in the “Pepper Revue” advertised here. In an interview featured in the March, 1899, edition of The Poster, Gr¸n summed up his graphic goals as follows: “Since [1891], I believe that I have done about fifteen [posters], in which I have tried to find new and simple effects. Two or three colors are quite sufficient to produce something interesting. Black and white, with a touch of red or green . . . As for my subjects, I search for them always in the same places: in the theatres or cafÈ-concerts, for which I have done all my affiches” (p. 100). Surely some of the best posters of the Belle Epoque are by Gr¸n; playful and lusty fun, with minimum color and maximum wit. This is the larger format.
