The artwork titled “Pan, a Journal of Satire” was created by Jules Chéret in the year 1900. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls under the genre of poster art.
The artwork features a striking composition designed to capture attention. Dominated by bold red lettering spelling “Pan” at the top, it vividly communicates the primary title of the journal. Below this, the subtitle “a Journal of Satire” is prominently displayed, indicating the theme of the publication. The artwork also features the price, “Price 6d”, and additional text at the bottom providing information about the publication’s frequency and location, specifically “Offices, 4, Ludgate Buildings, London, E.C.” The visual focal point includes a dynamic depiction of a figure rendered in a lively style, characteristic of Chéret’s work and the broader Art Nouveau movement. The color palette is rich and evocative, further contributing to the allure of this advertisement poster.
