This was such a wonderful presentation. I am making posters at a large scale and I stumbled upon this video and I’m so glad I did! I learned so much! There was so much I didn’t know before, but now I want to teach others. Thank you for making this fantastic lecture. I felt like applauding at the end.

This is great. She knows what she is talking about. And the period she is speaking about doesnt always get the light she gives it. Its a great lecture.

Yellow is one of the oldest colors in history, seen in cave paintings over 17,000 years old. Yellow pigment from ochre was readily available in prehistoric times and one of the first pigments used in cave art. The standard technique in Toulouse-Lautrec's day entailed the use of four stones, one for each of the primary colors and an additional stone for black. Secondary colors were created by superimposing one color atop another; blue over yellow, for example, would create green. Toulouse-Lautrec experimented with the juxtaposition of colors and the use of more stones, such that each color had its own stone.

I have noticed a lot of using the colour yellow on the posters. Now I understand, that yellow is a bright, shiny colour that attracts the viewers eye, especially with a dark background. My question is: was it also a point of the process of the printing, that f.e. yellow was easier to produce/print as a chromatic coulour than the other once ( I see red as a colour that also attracts the eye) or was it because of its brightness? Thank you.

Yellow was a color that prostitutes wore in Northern Italy in the medieval ages.

The poster of Jane Avril with the snake looks an inspiration for the later work of Elsa Schiaparelli.

People think about themselves as divorced from the community around them . They put their self interests first before the interests of the wider community. We call these people Republicans.

Gosh, she is *butchering* the names 🤦♀️ I'm only 9 minutes into the lecture and I just can't.... It's Ber-nar, you don't read "h" It's Mu-ha (in French you read "ch" as h) But you don't need to speak French though, those names are freaking famous. I don't know if I can trust the lecturer, who has never heard about Sarah Ber-nar and Alphonse Mu-ha before she started writing the text of her lecture. 🤦♀️
