Title:	Le Depute aux Champs (The Field Delegate)
Artist:	Steinlen, Theophile Alexandre (Lausanne, 1859 - Paris, 1923)
Date:	1893
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Publisher:	Edouard Kleinmann, Paris
Note:	Theophile Alexandre Steinlen 'Theophile Steinlen': A major artist of the French Art Nouveau era, Theophile Alexandre Steinlen came to Paris from his native Switzerland at the age of twenty. Mainly self-taught, he quickly established himself as a leading illustrator of popular journals such as Le Rire. He also contributed a large amount of drawings and lithographs to the radical press publications, Pere Peinard, Les Temps Nouveaux and La Chambard. In order to avoid political repercussions for some of his art dealing with strong social content he often employed pseudonyms such as, 'Treelan' and 'Pierre'.
	In the 1890's, Theophile Alexandre Steinlen's wonderful use of line and design led to some of the most famous posters of the Art Nouveau movement. These include, Tournee du Chat Noir (1896), La Rue (1896) and Lait pur Sterilise (1894). Yet the majority of his art continued to explore the hardships of the poor and humble. Known as "the Millet of the Streets", Steinlen's influence was vast. Among other artists both Toulouse-Lautrec and the young Picasso paid direct homage to his art.
	In total, Theophile Steinlen created 382 original lithographs and 115 etchings. Le Depute aux Champs was published by Kleinmann in Paris in a limited edition of 100 impressions. From 1893 to 1895, this publisher commissioned fine lithographs from Steinlen, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cheret, Forain. Grasset, Vallotton and others. All were published with Klenmann's blindstamp and numbered in red pencil.
	The character depicted in Le Depute aux Champs is no doubt based upon the likeness of an actual political personage; hence Theophile Steinlen's use of the 'Pierre' pseudonym. Yet what is most striking is the artistic imagery contrasting wealth with hard labour. Only a master of social art could convey such feeling with such sure handed simplicity.
