Bio
Steinlen was a Swiss-born artist working in Paris whose illustrations and prints connected artistic production with social criticism. His work treated poverty, working life and the suffering caused by war. In 1919 he signed the Clarté appeal against intervention in Russia reproduced by L’Ordine Nuovo. The signature records a political endorsement alongside his visual work.
