Moulin de la Galette

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>With this painting of the dance hall known as the Moulin de la Galette, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec established his reputation as the painter-chronicler of the entertainments of Montmartre. In this well-known image, Lautrec employed the wood barrier as a metaphorical divide between the frenzied action of the dance hall, seen as a blur in the background, and the stillness of the bored and waiting women (accompanied by a proprietary male) in the foreground. He used turpentine to thin his paint and applied it in loose washes, a technique known as peinture a l'essence. The result is a seemingly unfinished look that suggests both the immediacy of the artist's observations and the dinginess of his subject.</p>
