Tournée du Chat Noir
Tournée du Chat Noir is one of the defining images of fin-de-siècle Paris. Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's 1896 lithographic poster places a commanding black cat against a warm amber ground, its silhouette bold and hieratic. The composition owes as much to Japanese woodblock design as to the emerging Art Nouveau movement — flat planes of colour, confident contour, and a graphic economy that still reads as modern. It was made to be seen from a distance, and it rewards that distance still.
This canvas print is produced in our Berlin studio using museum-grade archival inks on cotton canvas. The textured surface softens the background warmth and gives the graphic lines a tactile weight, making this canvas art print as striking on a wall as the original poster once was on the streets of Montmartre.
