Biography of Jules Cheret
Jules Cheret (June 1, 1836, Paris - September 23, 1932, Nice) was a painter from Paris, France who made his name widely known in the field of art posters. His work is known for its humorous, bright colors and dynamic designs that draw the audience in.
Cheret was born in Paris to a family of poor typesetting craftsmen, and was educated at a boarding school from the age of seven to thirteen. When his family situation did not allow him to actually get a job, his father ended up sending Cheret to the master of a lithographer as an indentured apprentice.
However, after a long period of more than ten years, his talent was polished,
In 1866 Cheret opened his first lithograph workshop in Paris and produced hundreds of posters. In 1881, he transferred the printing workshop to Chez and became its art director.
Chéret then became famous for his art posters depicting nightlife in Paris.
