Henri Cassiers: The Most Outstanding Flemish Poster Artist in the Late 19th Century

Born 1858 in Antwerp, Belgian Art Nouveau artist and illustrator Henri Cassiers was largely self-taught as a painter in watercolours, he became a skilful draughtsman. In 1881, he had his first exhibition of paintings, which went well, and gave up on architecture.

After 1881, Cassiers continued to exhibit and to travel. He had successful exhibitions in Brittany, England, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and other countries. He established his focus on commercial illustration, and his work was featured in well-known newspapers, magazines, hotels, restaurants, and resorts.

Some of his most notable work was for Le Patriot Illustré, and his posters include several for the seaside town of De Haan. He also designed postcards.

Cassiers died in 1944, aged 85. Here is some of his work.
