Jules-Alexandre Grün (1868–1938) was a French painter, illustrator, and poster artist whose works vividly capture the elegance, charm, and social vibrancy of Paris during the Belle Époque. He is best remembered for his large-scale, color-rich depictions of Parisian high society—dancers, cabaret performers, and fashionable gatherings—often infused with humor, warmth, and a keen sense of observation.
His posters, especially those promoting Paris theaters and events, combined the decorative flair of Art Nouveau with a modern, approachable style, making him one of the leading poster artists of his era alongside contemporaries like Toulouse-Lautrec.
Though his fame waned after World War I, Grün’s works endure as a colorful window into the spirit of fin-de-siècle Paris, celebrating both its glamour and its human warmth. Below is a collection of iconic posters by Jules-Alexandre Grün in the 1900s.
