{"product_id":"ap_22987","title":"Le fils de l'abbesse - Le fardeau de la liberté - Programme du théâtre de l'oeuvre 1897","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"719\"\u003eWith this 1897 illustrated program, Henri Lebasque contributed to one of the great artistic experiments of fin-de-siècle Paris — the radical, introspective world of the Théâtre de l’Œuvre, founded by Aurélien Lugné-Poe. Far from the ornate theaters of the boulevards, L’Œuvre was a crucible for Symbolist drama and a platform where painting and performance met in perfect synchrony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003eLebasque — later known for his luminous post-Impressionist canvases — brought a subtle but distinctly modern sensibility to this work. His cover for the double bill “Le Fils de l’Abbesse” and “Le Fardeau de la Liberté” reflects the psychological depth and quiet tension of these plays. Eschewing theatrical flamboyance, the composition embraces restrained color, lyrical linework, and a quiet, contemplative atmosphere — in tune with Symbolist aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003eThe typography and layout preserve the artisanal spirit that defined these programs: handcrafted, personal, almost devotional in tone. Lebasque’s illustration doesn't merely announce a performance — it invites the viewer into a private emotional landscape, where themes of liberty, moral burden, and familial legacy are explored with philosophical weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1982\"\u003eThis rare program belongs to a short but electrifying moment in French theater, when visual artists became scenographers, and the poster, the program, and the stage shared a common visual and ideological language. As such, it stands as a delicate but powerful relic of Parisian avant-garde collaboration — a bridge between the salons of Montmartre and the literary revolutions unfolding under the spotlights of L’Œuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheater - Avant-Garde - France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCriticism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePrinted by Eugène Verneau in Paris\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lebasque Henri","offers":[{"title":"32 x 25 \/ A","offer_id":51640271274311,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_22987Insta2.jpg?v=1749216683","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.fr\/en\/products\/ap_22987","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
