About Henri De Toulouse.
Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec was a painter whose immersion in the colorful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant, and provocative images of the modern, sometimes decadent, life of those times.
Of all the music hall performers who inspired LAUTREC. Yvette Guilbert by far had the most hold over him. He was completely fascinated by the style and atmosphere of her act. Lautrec first saw her in about 1892. She had revolutionized the whole of the café concert by a totally new approach to the performance of a song. Standing almost still except for gestures of her long thin arms in black gloves, which she almost invariably wore, her face almost expressionless except for the twist of her lips, she sang songs with highly scandalous words and themes.
The Paris audience was captivated, but none more than Lautrec. Over the years they became well known to each other and she inspired some of his finest lithographs, drawings, paintings, and ceramics. less
