Jules Cheret in Paris and created posters with vivid, fluid colors that captivated viewers. Eventually, Feure moved on to more lucrative creations in glass, porcelain, silver, furniture, and jewelry.

I really enjoy de Feure's work. He's a favorite -- and I see some of the same techinques in Klimt -- the fluid lines and the sensuality, as well as the use of color. Nice choice.
Thanks. I wish that I had the background knowledge to be able to analyze de Feure's decorative work, which is apparently where he best thrived.
