About Henri Meunier
Henri Meunier, full name Henri Georges Jean Isidore Meunier, was a Belgian graphic artist, born in Ixelles, near Brussels, in 1873, and he died in Brussels in 1922. He worked as a lithographer, etcher, illustrator and poster designer in the Belle Époque, the period of optimism and new design before the First World War.
Henri Meunier is best known for Art Nouveau posters printed in Brussels in the 1890s and early 1900s. His clients included the concerts of the violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, furniture makers, a cycling track and a car maker. Museums in Barcelona and Oslo hold examples of his posters.
Henri Meunier prints: reproductions of the Belgian Art Nouveau posters and lithographs Henri Meunier designed in Brussels in 1896 and 1897. Works include Café Rajah (1897), Concerts Ysaÿe (1896), Casino de Blankenberghe (1896), Le Guide Musical (1896) and L'Heure du Silence.
This selection shows Meunier's commercial posters for a coffee brand, a furniture shop, a seaside casino, a music review, a children's charity and a concert series. They share strong outlines, simple shapes and a limited palette. L'Heure du Silence adds a quieter, more mysterious image.
The bold posters suit kitchens, cafés, dining rooms and home offices, and the music designs work well near a piano or record shelf. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
