Original Description
Step into the luminous world of Salon Des Cents by Fernand Fau, where Belle Époque elegance meets artistic rebellion. Created in the 1890s—a golden age for Parisian printmaking—this lithograph captures the avant-garde spirit of Les Cent, an influential collective of artists and printmakers Fau co-founded. Bathed in soft yet vibrant tones, the scene depicts an intimate exhibition space alive with art enthusiasts admiring wall displays, their figures rendered with Art Nouveau fluidity and Japonisme-inspired simplicity. As one of Fau’s celebrated works, it bridges commercial poster art and fine art, embodying the democratic ideals of turn-of-the-century printmaking while showcasing his mastery of composition and atmospheric perspective. Today, it stands as a rare visual document of fin-de-siècle artistic sociability, reflecting both the cultural ferment of Paris and the birth of modern graphic design.
For contemporary interiors, Salon Des Cents shines as a sophisticated focal point. In a study or office, frame it in a slim black oak or gilt frame to echo its era, sized medium (approx. 24×36 inches) to balance detail visibility and spatial harmony. Pair it with rich textures—a velvet emerald sofa or brass accents—to deepen its warm ochres and muted blues. The scene’s bustling yet orderly composition suits minimalist spaces needing visual rhythm, while its vintage exhibition theme makes it ideal for creative workspaces or libraries. For color cohesion, pull tones from its palette into throw pillows or area rugs. Avoid overcrowding nearby walls; let it breathe alongside sleek mid-century furniture or industrial lighting for an intentional tension between old and new. A statement piece that sparks conversation, it rewards both prolonged contemplation and peripheral appreciation.
