“Van Rysselberghe exerted a positive force for the revitalization of the decorative arts at the turn of the century, but his posters are not numerous; those he created for La Libre EsthÈtique are unquestionably the finest. The elegant feminine figures of his posters, very knowingly placed on the page, seem to be the pretext for Van Rysselberghe to balance large spots of red-orange against their greenish or bluish complementaries. The text is beautifully drawn and gracefully integrated into the design of the posters” (Belle Epoque 1970, p. 86). Estampe et Affiche spoke highly of the “impressionist painter [who] painted on an azure background, a charming young lady with red hair, whose languid arms and white neck spring from a large, violet dressing gown” (1898, p. 203). It is an impressively tasteful, delicate design. This is the version before lettering to the lower right text panel.
