Le Chat Noir and Parisian Poster Art

Théophile Steinlen (1859–1923) was a Swiss-born French artist closely associated with Montmartre. He created posters, prints, and illustrations that captured street life with warmth and direct observation. Cats appear often in his work, alongside scenes of everyday Paris.

The Le Chat Noir cabaret was a meeting place for writers, performers, and artists. Steinlen’s black cat image became one of the best-known emblems of Belle Époque advertising. Its strong silhouette, stylized type, and piercing gaze helped define the look of Parisian poster art.
