Artist: HENRI THIRIET (1873-1946) Size: 38 5/8 x 55 3/8 in./98 x 140.7 cm Condition: B+/ Slight tears and stains at edges. Printer: Reference: Ref: Bicycle Posters, 56; Petite Reine, p. 41; PAI-XLII, 485 Key Words: Bicycles; Art Nouveau; By Air, Land, or Sea Omega. 1897. Thiriet’s posters are few, but all are excellent. “This is yet another example of the Art Nouveau poster at its stylized best. The composition has been meticulously—almost geometrically—arranged, and the influence of mythology, in both the Greek name for the bicycle brand of Kreutzberger and the winged goddess, plus the bold use of flat and vibrant colors emphasize this. The Omega is chainless (“Sans Chaine”) even though continuous-chain-driven bicycles were being produced at this time. It worked by means of bevel gears” (Bicycle Posters, p. 9).
