About this artwork

This is a lithograph by Eugène Grasset, made as a design for Chocolat Mexicain in Paris. The title and subject point to Mexico, and the work belongs among images of Mexican people in art. Grasset was a Swiss decorative artist who worked in Paris during the Belle Époque, moving between many fields of design. He is regarded as a pioneer of Art Nouveau, and that background makes this poster a good example of how everyday advertising could carry real graphic craft.

On your wall: It suits a kitchen, dining room or café-style corner, and sits comfortably in a home that already likes vintage posters and period graphic design.
