"Grasset did much to introduce the concept and practice of Art Nouveau in France. In fact, Grasset brought Art Nouveau to the poster: it was to become a worldwide vehicle of the art of advertising. In France, Grasset was the pioneer of an attempt, like that of William Morris in England, to reconcile art and industry?Interested as he was in all the applied arts he came naturally to the poster. It was the 'Fêtes de Paris' with a herald on the back of a horse with an exaggerated mane. The composition and the pure colours make the influence of the Japanese Ukiyo-E school of engraving, as do the thick outlines, similar to lead of stained glass?daring for the period. (Weill p.32)
