Description:
"This magnificent poster, an artistic and lithographic tour de force, was Toussaint’s first. It publicizes the magazine of ‘Le Sillon’ one of many artists’ groups that bred in rich cultural ferment of 1890s Brussels. ‘Sillon’ means furrow, to make one’s own way in the world, which was the aim of this group. Thus Toussaint depicts an allegory of the harvest of grain that will spring from his work. Credit for capturing the fine colour nuances of this delicious watercolour in soft tones, is shared by Toussaint’s friend, O. de Rycker, the master lithographer (printer) of Brussels. (Rennert, PAI-XVII, 525)
