The posters of the artist Albert André Guillaume are still today true jewels and works of art of historical value. Guillaume was born in Paris in 1873, the son of an architect. Guillaume made a name for himself at a young age as a genre painter, poster artist, illustrator and caricaturist. After studying at the Ecole des beaux-arts in Paris, he began his career with works of art that took a rather satirical look at bourgeois life in Paris. It was not long before the media discovered the artist's talent for themselves. From then on, exciting commissions for Albert André Guillaume arose, from book illustrations to biting and trenchant caricatures for various magazines. This quickly increased the artist's fame and popularity. His works and illustrations appeared in the well-known publications "Le Figaro", "Gil Blas", "Le Pays de France", "Le Rire" and "Le Frou-Frou". His advertising posters and announcements of theatre performances could regularly be admired in public places.
Together with his brother Henri, he created an artistic contribution for the world exhibition in Paris in 1900 under the title "Théâtre des Bonshommes Guillaume". They were awarded a bronze medal for the representation of famous personalities in the form of satirical dolls and received much public recognition. The performance was accompanied acoustically by a phonograph. Characteristic of all his works is the humorous and caricature-like undertone. In a humorous way he reflects the realities of his time and the social conventions of the France of the time in his works. Whether advertising poster, illustration, cartoon or caricature, Guillaume's works of art all have a high recognition value. They transport the flair and the circumstances of his time with skill and style. The artist and designer was particularly successful with his posters at the end of the 19th century. The medium became more and more popular at that time. Albert André Guillaume probably made a not insignificant contribution to this development. From 1899 onwards, his works could be regularly admired in the "Salon der Société des Artistes Français". Even today, the humorous and mostly socially critical works and the artistically designed posters still conjure up a smile on the face of the viewer.
Guillaume's best and most successful works were published in the collection "Les maîtres de l'affiche", which translated means "The Masters of the Poster". This collection of advertising posters was published between 1895 and 1900 by Jules Cheret, who was called the father of poster art at the time. More than 256 posters by nearly 80 well-known artists are included. Despite his success, the artist settled in a quiet, village-like area during the last years of his life. He lived in the village of Faux in the Dordogne until his death in 1942.
