He was born in Lausanne in 1859, where he also studied literature at the Lausanne Academy. He then did an internship with a textile printer in Mulhouse. At that time he worked as a technical draftsman until the painter Franrçois Bocion invited him and his wife Emilie to move to Paris to the Montmartre Quarter artists' commune. Once there, Théophile-Alexandre became friends with the painter Adolphe Willette. Through Adolphe, Théophile-Alexandre became acquainted with the Parisian cabaret "Le Chat Noir". He subsequently created various posters and graphics for the cabaret. He made drawings and illustrations for the cabaret's newspaper, the newspaper "Le Mirliton" and for the chanson collection of Aristide Bruant, whom he met in the artists' quarter. Besides Adolphe Willette, he also met the artists Félix Vallotton, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Louis Anquetin.
Initially Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen exhibited his works in the Salon des Indépendants. Most of them were depictions of village landscapes, plants and nudes. In 1884 his first exhibition was shown at La Bodinière. Regular commissions for Le Rire and Gil Blas followed. In 1911 he founded the magazine Les Humouristes together with other artists. From 1883 to 1920 he made hundreds of drawings, some under a pseudonym because of their political content. During the 1st World War, works that critically dealt with the war followed.
His daughter Colette appears frequently in his works. But Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen preferred to draw cats, but also other animals. Cats fascinated him because of their charisma, movements, proportions and character. The culture of France at the turn of the century, the cabaret and the social conditions in the city were also a frequent subject of his drawings. His works influenced various other artists, including Pablo Picasso. He died in Paris in 1923 and was buried in Montmartre.
