About the poster: The Grande Fête de Nuit organized by the Amicale de Montmartre et ses Artistes was a festive celebration of the artistic spirit and bohemian culture of Montmartre, one of Paris's most legendary neighborhoods. Active in the early to mid-20th century, the Amicale brought together painters, poets, musicians, and performers who lived and worked in this vibrant quartier, following in the footsteps of Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, and Utrillo.

The Grande Fête de Nuit was typically held as an open-air evening spectacle, mixing music, cabaret, dance, and visual arts. It served as both a fundraising event and a joyful homage to Montmartre's artistic soul. Posters advertising the fête were often colorful and playful, capturing the carnival-like atmosphere and the enduring charm of Parisian nightlife.

These events helped preserve Montmartre’s creative identity at a time when the city was rapidly modernizing and gentrifying, reinforcing the neighborhood’s reputation as a haven for independent, free-spirited artists.
