At the Moulin Rouge

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

<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>In At the Moulin Rouge, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec memorialized Parisian nightlife at the end of the nineteenth century. The painting is noted for its daring composition, dramatic cropping, and flat planes of strident color. A regular patron of the Moulin Rouge, one of the most famous cabarets of the Montmartre district, Toulouse-Lautrec here turned his acute powers of observation on the club's other habitues. The flaming red-orange hair of the entertainer Jane Avril is the focal point of the central seated group. Preening in the greenish mirror in the background is the dancer La Goulue. The stunted figure of the aristocratic artist appears, as it often did in life, next to his devoted, much taller cousin, Dr. Gabriel Tapie de Celeyran. But it is the frozen, acid-green face of the dancer May Milton that dominates the canvas and haunts the action. The painting comprises two joined parts: a small main canvas and an L-shaped panel to the lower and right edges. The canvas was severed after the artist's death, perhaps by his dealer (to make the composition less radical and more saleable), and restored sometime before 1914.</p>
