What famous cabaret was Lautrec commissioned to make posters for?
The famous cabaret that Lautrec was commissioned to make posters for was the Moulin Rouge. During his brief artistic career, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captured the lively and often sordid atmosphere of Montmartre’s late 19th-century dance halls, cabarets and theaters. Recording the performances he viewed and the establishments he visited on a nightly basis, he functioned as artist and narrator: original Lautrec paintings, drawings, prints and posters expose the complexities of the quickly changing age in which he lived. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec art.
