Graphic Artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the art of this graphic designer. The quadrille was but one of the components of the lively Paris nightlife found in Montmartre at the end of the 19th century. It provided Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) with a beginning point for public display of his artwork in the form of posters for Moulin Rouge, Jane Avril, May Belfort, Chocolat, La Goulue, and Yvette Guilbert. In return, Toulouse-Lautrec gave Montmartre and its performers a taste of immortality while giving rise to the “can-can,” the American Burlesque version of the risqué quadrille forms performed in Paris nightclubs during the “gay 90s,” the final decade of the 19th century. Along the way, he created advertising art that persists more as art than as advertising more than a century after his death. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
