MISTI (pseudonym for Ferdinand Mifliez).<br />

Worked as a designer for Cheret. Exhibitor<br />

at the Salon des Artistes Francais and<br />

received an award from that institution in<br />

1907. Misti was famous for his direct and<br />

bold lines. Largely avoiding over<br />

ornamentation, his bold use of line and<br />

color influenced many artists. He is<br />

favorably compared with other poster artists<br />

of the era such as Toulouse-Lautrec,<br />

Mucha, Grasset, Cheret, Bonnard &<br />

Steinlen. This is a fine example of poster art<br />

illustrating his style.<br />
