Henry Thiriet, the Legendary Poster Artist
Who was Henry Thiriet? Today he is best known by wih poster art in signature Art Nouveau style, yet he created much more. He illustrated books, designed calendars and made quite a few 'classic' oil paintings and aquarells as well.
In a way we could say he was one of the early examples of multimedia masters. Well, to be honest, posters made him a legend and it's only fair to start the presentation of his life with them.
Posters
While Thiriet created hundreds of posters, his by far most succesful theme were bycicles with Dayton and Omega being his best customers.

Henry Thiriet illustrated numerous books and fairy tales were roughly a half of his contribution in this area.

This illustration of Sleeping Beauty (in the Woods) was published as a picture book.
