Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartre
Editorial Review:
Description
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) is renowned for his paintings and posters inspired by the rowdy, edgy spectacle of entertainment in late nineteenth-century Paris. He found his subjects in the dance halls, cabarets, circuses, and brothels of the Montmartre neighborhood, where middle-class visitors came for a whiff of excitement laced with danger. His images of performers at the Moulin Rouge, Chat Noir, and other fashionable nightspots transformed the poets, singers, and dancers of Montmartre — including Aristide Bruant, Jane Avril, and Yvette Guilbert — into celebrities. This film traces the relationship between the aristocratic painter and the avant-garde culture of Montmartre, using works of art by Lautrec and his colleagues, rare archival footage and sound recordings, period photographs, and interviews with contemporary scholars.
