Raphael Kirchner was born in Vienna, Austria in 1876.
This illustrator and cartoonist was an Austrian disciple of Alphonse Mucha and Károly Józsa, then began his career as a portraitist in Vienna.
In 1900 Kirchner moved to Paris where he worked with various newspapers carrying advertising illustrations and cartoons. He was a huge popular success with the creation of postcards "women Kirchner".
Inspired by Art Nouveau and Japanism, the artist represents women increasingly bare and displaying undisguised eroticism ... Kirchner is sometimes considered a precursor of the "pin-up"!
The artist passed away in 1917.
