Maurice Lefèvre

The artist Jules Chéret (1836-1932) created a poster for the opening of the show on 17 October 1891 at the Nouveau-Théâtre at 15, rue Blanche.

[2] Lefèvre admired Mallet and appeared with her at matinées-causeries at La Bodinière.

She crawls, creeps with hissings, leaving behind the moiré trail of her drool... On both sides of the boneless body hang, like pitiful wrecks, tentacles in funereal gloves.

Complete negation of our genius... Poor little Chanson, faithful mirror in which men reflect themselves, are you responsible for their hideousness?

"[3] In a 1912 essay in Le Monde artiste Lefevre criticized the excessive cosmopolitanism of Paris, calling for more emphasis on French culture.
