Georges de Feure (1868–1943) was a French painter, theatrical designer, and industrial art designer in the symbolism and Art Nouveau styles. He was one of the eleven students admitted at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam in 1886, which he did however leave very quickly for Paris since he felt that formal academic training had nothing to offer him.

Being of very independent nature, de Feure never again took up formal artistic studies, and forged his own independent path. He was however influenced by Jules Chéret in his posters for the café concert but most likely was never his pupil and became the key designer of Siegfried Bing for L’Art Nouveau.
De Feure showed work in the Exposition Universelle de Paris exhibition in 1900. He designed furniture, worked for newspapers, created theater designs for Le Chat Noir cabaret and posters. In August 1901, he was nominated Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur for his contribution to the decorative arts.
De Feure died in poverty at the age of 75 years in Paris. Here below is a set of impressive posters illustrated by Georges de Feure in the 1890s.
