Henri Privat-Livemont (1861–1936) was a Belgian Art Nouveau painter, illustrator, and poster artist, best known for his elegant and decorative poster designs that epitomize the Art Nouveau aesthetic. His work often featured idealized female figures surrounded by floral motifs, flowing lines, and ornamental detail, drawing influence from both Japanese prints and the natural world.
Privat-Livemont studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and began his career working as a decorative painter in Paris, where he was exposed to the vibrant poster art scene. Upon returning to Belgium, he established himself as one of the country’s foremost poster artists. His most famous work, the “Absinthe Robette” poster (1896), is a quintessential example of Art Nouveau design and remains an iconic image of the period.
In addition to commercial posters, Privat-Livemont also created book illustrations, stained glass designs, and decorative panels. Though his fame faded somewhat after the decline of the Art Nouveau movement, his work has since been rediscovered and appreciated for its technical precision, graceful compositions, and visual charm.
