A group of men and women in dark coats and top hats sit and stand around a table in a green-toned cabaret interior; a woman in violet with a fur-trimmed collar and a bearded man in a top hat sit at centre, while two women behind them lift their arms to their hair. A table with a glass carafe and a wine glass angles across the lower left. At the right edge, a woman’s face is lit a strong greenish blue, cropped close by the frame.
Painted between 1892 and 1895, this is a group portrait of the customers and entertainers in Lautrec’s circle at the Moulin Rouge, where he kept a permanently reserved table. The Art Institute of Chicago names the dancers La Goulue, La Macarona and Jane Avril, the singer May Milton at the right edge, and the artist himself in the background beside his cousin Gabriel Tapié de Céleyran. Shown in Paris in 1894 as Un Coin du Moulin Rouge, it was given to the museum in 1928 by Frederick Clay Bartlett.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) made the poster an art form. From 1891 his lithographs for the Moulin Rouge, Aristide Bruant, Jane Avril and the Divan Japonais turned Montmartre’s performers into silhouettes and flat planes of colour learned from Japanese prints, and they were pasted across Paris by the thousand. He drew the cabarets, circuses and brothels of the city with unsentimental affection. His prints are held by the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec in Albi, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Museum of Modern Art.
