<p>The works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864 - 1901) celebrate life as only a dedicated observer can. His body of work includes haunting depictions of marginalized groups, including dancers, crooners and Parisian brothel workers. He imbues each painting with energy and humanity borne of intimate, thoughtful observation. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec suffered from genetic disorders, but that did not limit his ability to create art that resonates. Working with business owners engaged in entertainment, he produced posters and prints reflecting the excitement and grit of the times. Wall art inspired by the Moulin Rouge series and Toulouse-Lautrec posters of the era recap 19th century urban life in Paris.</p>
<p>Lautrec's graphic posters-for performers, like Jane Avril, or dance halls, like the Moulin Rouge-embody the ebullient, frenetic spirit of the nightlife in fin-de-siecle Paris. Avril, a lifelong friend of the artist, commissioned this print to advertise her cabaret show at the Jardin de Paris in 1893. Lautrec's bold composition is characterized by a radically skewed perspective, severe cropping, flattened forms, and sinuous lines-such as those describing Avril's frilly costume. The cancan kick of Avril's leg, one of her signature dance moves, finds a formal echo in the vertical thrust of the double-bass, gripped by an unseen musician. To create this print, Lautrec used several lithographic stones, one for each color-inky black, acidic orange, yellow, and green.</p>
