IBELS Henri-Gabriel
French ( 1867 - 1936 )
Painter, poster artist, IBELS contributed to Parisian humour magazines. Collaborated with his friend Toulouse-Lautrec, who began lithography at his insistence. Ibels was a member of the Nabis group of artists, he shared with the others a stylistic debt to Gauguin, but diverged from the esoteric, symbolist interests, preferring to depict directly and honestly the popular life of the streets.
