{"title":"Ogé, Eugène","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEugène Ogé (1861-1936)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a French poster artist and illustrator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe began as an apprentice to Charles Verneau (1850-1950), a printer who specialised in posters, and became a lithographer. During this period, he made the acquaintance of several notable poster artists, including Adolphe Léon Willette, Jean-Louis Forain and Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. In his spare time, he studied painting at the Académie Julian and developed an admiration for Jules Chéret, an innovator in poster design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1890s, he opened his own workshop and began designing posters, initially under contract to Verneau, then with Pierre Vercasson. He gradually developed his own style, moving away from the opulent women favoured by Chéret. By 1900, he worked almost exclusively with caricatures and established himself with his famous poster for the \"Billards Brunswick\", featuring three bald men. After 1902, he collaborated with La Lanterne, a daily journal with anti-clerical sentiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years leading up to World War I, he caricatured many prominent people, including Queen Victoria and Paul Kruger, for \"Dr. Trabant's Supreme Pills\" (which were ordered torn down by the Prefecture of Police), and the heads of state meeting at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, to advertise the menthe-pastille made by Giffard. Among the other companies he worked for, one may mention Maggi, Gellé frères, Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville and Réglisse Zan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the war he made very few posters, focusing instead on rubber models and patterns for advertising balloons.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ogeeugene-1861-1936-billiards-brunswick-1900","title":"Ogé, Eugène (1861-1936) - Billiards Brunswick 1900","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the French illustrator and poster artist Eugène Ogé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in JPEG format, that is 600dpi and 4800 pixels wide by 3126 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/ogeeugene\" title=\"Eugene Oge\"\u003eEugène Ogé\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53606817759562,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Oge_Eugene_1861-1936_-BilliardsBrunswick1900_main.jpg?v=1765940469"},{"product_id":"ogeeugene-1861-1936-la-menthe-pastille-1904","title":"Ogé, Eugène (1861-1936) - La Menthe Pastille 1904","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by the French illustrator and poster artist Eugène Ogé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image, in JPEG format, that is 600dpi and 4590 pixels wide by 3132 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/ogeeugene\" title=\"Eugene Oge\"\u003eEugène Ogé\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53607007748426,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Oge_Eugene_1861-1936_-LaMenthePastille1904_main.jpg?v=1765940469"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Oge_Eugene_1861-1936-9675743.jpg?v=1768960011","url":"https:\/\/www.publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/ogeeugene.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
