Pierre Bonnard designed this champagne advertisement in 1889, published in 1891 when he was just 23. A young woman in flowing dress with cascading curls toasts the viewer with an overflowing glass. The bright yellow background and bold graphics differ dramatically from the soft paintings of his maturity.
The three-color lithograph advertises E. Debray's champagne from Reims. When it appeared on Paris streets, it launched Bonnard's career and introduced him to color lithography. His Japanese-influenced style earned him the nickname "le Nabi japonard." Copies exist at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, MoMA, and other museums.

About poster advertising France Champagne
Pierre Bonnard created this lithograph in 1889 at age 23, before he was a professional artist. Its success on Paris streets launched his career and introduced him to color lithography.
The work shows Art Nouveau and Japonism influences. Bonnard's flat areas of color and curving outlines earned him the nickname "le Nabi japonard" among his artist friends.
Copies exist in major collections including MoMA, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Van Gogh Museum.
The poster promotes E. Debray's France-Champagne from Reims. The cheerful woman toasts with an overflowing glass, its bubbles cascading down. The bold design attracted attention on Paris streets in 1891.
