A plain title sets this poster apart from the war notices around it: it announces an exhibition of paintings by modern masters, printed in French in 1916. That date places it in the middle of the First World War, when many European galleries and dealers kept their doors open, partly to show that cultural life continued under strain. Exhibition posters of this kind were usually pasted on walls and kiosks to catch passersby, and their lettering and layout often reflect the graphic styles of the day. Studying the typography is a good way to see how commercial art worked in wartime France.
