Description: LIMITED EDITION TOULOUSE LAUTREC " DIVAN JAPONAIS " 1896 MAITRE DE L'AFFICHE SIGNED 62/265 FRAMED 34 X 26 INCHES PURCHASED ON A WORLD WIDE CRUISE IN 2005 Divan Japonais was one of the many café-concerts in late nineteenth-century Paris frequented by Toulouse-Lautrec. His poster advertising the nightspot features two of his favorite Montmartre stars, Yvette Guilbert and Jane Avril. Here, Avril is a spectator, not a performer, as she sits in the foreground with Édouard Dujardin, a dandyish writer and nightclub habitué. In the upper left corner, on stage, is the headless body of Guilbert, recognizable by her trademark long black gloves and gaunt physique. Renowned Post-Impressionist painter, lithographer, and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captured the elegance and excitement of Parisian nightlife during the Belle Epoque Though he was an aristocrat by birth, the artist was a fixture of the avant-garde bohemian scene centered in the Montmartre neighborhood—home of the famed Moulin Rouge, for which he made a series of promotional posters. Lautrec made the local artists, singers, showgirls, and prostitutes his subjects, capturing them in flat color, strong outlines, and unconventional angles and crops. Lautrec’s approach was inspired by Edo-period Japanese woodblock printing (known as ukiyo-e) and by fellow artists Edgar Degas and Édouard Manet—all three were keen observers of social culture. Today, Lautrec’s work can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, and the Tate, among other institutions. In 2005, his painting La blanchisseuse (1886–87) sold for nearly $22.5 million at auction. No Hassle Returns AU 425
