Parisiana / Vénus à Paris. 1904.
Abeillé was an illustrator known primarily for his numerous contributions to French humor magazines. This revue poster reveals his clear admiration for Grün: the buxom coquette, all wind-tussled hair and floral lingerie, poses proudly while an eager-looking man undresses her. The "fantasy operetta" written by Henry Moreau, F. Verdellet, and Charles Quinel made its debut at the Parisiana in 1904. The Parisiana was located at 27 Blvd. Poissonière in the Montmartre area (this address was the first Paris home of Frederic Chopin in 1831-32). Set up in 1894 as a circular room with a stage, large balcony, and strolling gallery, it originally charged no admission; the public paid only for drinks. In 1897 the Isola brothers established a different format: a singer before intermission and a play or revue such as this one afterwards. New management changed the policy to revues-only in 1905, and the building was turned into a movie house in 1911.
Size: 32 x 47 1/8 in./81.2 x 119.7 cm
