EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Poster advertising Le Divan Japonais" transports us back to the vibrant nightlife of late nineteenth-century Paris. Created by the renowned artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, this print captures the essence of one of his favorite haunts, the café-concert Le Divan Japonais. In the foreground, we see Jane Avril, a famous dancer and frequent performer at Le Divan Japonais. She sits elegantly beside Edouard Dujardin, a well-known writer and regular patron of Parisian nightclubs. Their presence adds an air of sophistication to this bustling scene. On stage in the upper left corner stands Yvette Guilbert, another beloved star of Montmartre's cabaret circuit. Although her head is mysteriously absent from view, she is instantly recognizable by her signature long black gloves and slender figure. The atmosphere depicted in this lithograph exudes chicness and excitement. The café itself is adorned with Japanese-inspired decorations while patrons enjoy their drinks amidst lively conversations. The orchestra pit can be seen in the background as musicians provide a melodic backdrop for the evening's entertainment. Toulouse-Lautrec's skillful use of contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of depth within this composition. This print serves as both an advertisement for Le Divan Japonais and a testament to Toulouse-Lautrec's ability to capture the spirit of Parisian nightlife through his artistry.
