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)
