By 1880, this new art form had attracted other designers. Steinlen and Toulouse-Lautrec followed to a great extent the established pattern of Cheret. The subject matter of their posters was essentially the same–devoted to advertising the night life, frivolity and colorful splendor of the music halls and cabarets of gay Paris. Lautrec, who was perhaps the better draftsman, exerted a tremendous influence on other poster designers. By experimenting with the new poster technique. George Meunier, Pierre Bonnard, Alphone Mucha, Eugene Grasset and Adolphe Willette, stood out from among the rest.
