Today:
The posters in this exhibition, about 20 in all by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Alfons Mucha, Jules Chéret, Pierre Bonnard, Felix Vallotton, Paul Berthon and others, document the early history of a thoroughly modern art form. Created in Paris during the Belle Époque--the period including the last decades of the 19th-century and the years leading up to World War I--they had to be simple, dynamic, eye-catching and distinctive.

I liked it, too.
A lot more fun than I expected.
