Description

A small group occupies the upper central area of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s La Tige, Moulin Rouge, with women alongside a hatted man at the right. Loose contours and a large open field keep the scene light and concentrated. The named establishment becomes a setting for neighboring human presences rather than a complete survey of its entertainment or social life.

Made in 1894, the crayon lithograph is printed in black on imitation Japan paper. Toulouse-Lautrec approaches a familiar setting through one represented person instead of a complete survey of the gathering. The print’s interest lies in the way a name and a place can meet within a concise image. The Moulin Rouge becomes particular through its human participants, giving the work another kind of intimacy beyond the spectacle of performances associated with the venue.
