The poster as we know it dates back no further than 1870, for it was
then that the perfection of techniques in color lithography first made
mass production possible. Yet in little more than a hundred years it has
come to be recognized as a vital art form, attracting artists at every
level, from painters like Toulouse-Lautrec and Mucha to theatrical and
commercial designers, and ranging in style from Art Nouveau, Symbolism,
Cubism and Art Deco, to the formality of the Bauhaus and the deliberate
incoherence of the hippies and other underground movements in the 1960s.
