In Art
French producers commissioneed a diverse range of artists to produce advertising material, most notably posters, which dramatically raised the profile of both producer and artist alike. The works are still recognised and highly prized for their artistic merit. The list includes such names as:
- Pierre Bonnard
- Walter Crane
- Alfons Mucha
- Henri Toulouse-Lautrec
Champagne also makes a more informal appearance in paintings by masters such as:
- Édouard Manet in Un bar aux Folies-Bergère (1882)
- Théodule Ribot in Nature morte (1886)
- Paul Cézanne in Chez le Père Lathuile (1879) and Chaise, bouteille et pommes (1906)

Famous quotes containing the word art:
“We do not fear censorship for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue—the same liberty that is conceded to the art of the written word, that art to which we owe the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.”
—D.W. (David Wark)
“Since art is the expression of beauty and beauty can be understood only in the form of the material elements of the true idea it contains, art has become almost uniquely feminine. Beauty is woman, and also art is woman.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
