The University of Richmond Museums presents STEINLEN: Humanity on view from November 10, 2017 to March 30, 2018, in the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art. The exhibition features works by the prolific poster artist, illustrator, printmaker, painter, and sculptor, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (French, born Switzerland, 1859-1923) and examines the artist’s growing concern for humanitarian, social, and political issues over the course of his lifetime. Included is a selection of works that range from Steinlen’s involvement in the avant-garde art circles of Montmartre to his political engagement in the 1890s and leading up to the outbreak of World War I.
