"Georges Joseph Van Sluyters, better known as Georges de Feure, was born in Paris in 1868 into a Belgian and Dutch family. In 1870, during the Franco-Prussian war, the family moved to Amsterdam. In 1886 De Feure was accepted at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam, but left in dissatisfaction after a short time and returned to Paris. In 1890 he settled in Montmartre and became a student of Jules Chéret. During the next decade De Feure produced a stream of popular lithographic posters, while also painting independently and illustrating books. In 1903 he mounted retrospective exhibitions in Paris and several other European cities. After 1910 he began to design sets and costumes for theater productions, as well as jewelry, ceramics, and interiors. Yet by the time the Great Depression hit, the artist's style had fallen out of fashion, and he descended into poverty, dying in 1943 during the Paris Occupation."
