Henri Privat-Livemont (1861-1936, Brussels) was a Belgian painter, draftsman, and poster artist. With his refined and elegant compositions, he remains one of the great masters of sgraffito alongside Paul Cauchie and Adolphe Crespin. A symbolist, Privat-Livemont was drawn to the Art Nouveau aesthetic from a very early age. His numerous posters, often award-winning, earned him the nickname "the Belgian Mucha." After studying at the Saint-Josse Academy in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode (where he received several prizes), under the tutelage of Louis Hendrickx, he spent a few years in Paris (1883-1889) where he participated in the decoration of the City Hall. From 1885 to 1887, he collaborated with Jean-Baptiste Lavastre, set designer at the Comédie-Française, on theatrical sets; he was accepted into the Paris Salon two years in a row, in 1886 and 1887.
