About the Item

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Divan Japonais, 75 rue des Martyrs" poster, created in 1896, is an emblematic example of the poster art of the period. It is part of the "Maîtres de l'Affiche" collection, edited by Jules Chéret, which helped popularize the poster as a work of art. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter and poster artist. His poster "Divan Japonais, 75 rue des Martyrs" depicts a lively scene in a Parisian cabaret. In the foreground, an elegant woman, Jane Avril, sits on a chair, wearing a colorful dress. She is surrounded by other spectators, who are enjoying themselves and the performance on stage. Toulouse-Lautrec uses bold lines and vivid colors to capture the lively atmosphere of the cabaret. Reddish tones dominate the poster, creating a warm, festive atmosphere. The characters are depicted in a stylized manner, with simplified forms and distinctive details, characteristic of Toulouse-Lautrec's style. The "Divan Japonais, 75 rue des Martyrs" poster promotes a popular entertainment venue of the time, associated with Paris's artistic bohemia. The Divan Japonais was renowned for its performances of dance, song and other nocturnal entertainment. Toulouse-Lautrec captures the energy and glamour of this place in his poster, capturing the viewer's attention and inspiring the desire to take part in the experience. Les Maîtres de l'Affiche was a collection of 256 posters created by some of the greatest artists of the time. Toulouse-Lautrec's poster for the Divan Japonais was featured in plate number 2 of the collection, underlining its importance and popularity.

    Located in PARIS, FR
    The girl who has entered the theatrical profession as a child can be depended upon to lead a clean life when she grows up. She is far, far safer than the girl who enters the profession after childhood.' So wrote John Tiller, whose theatrical school produced the dancing ladies who starred in the original 'Pony Ballet' and whose troupes of 'Tiller Girls' were in great demand for shows not only in London but in Paris, Amsterdam, Turin, and New York. He and Mrs. Tiller began training youngsters at the age of nine. In the schools in London and Manchester, the girls had regular academic studies as well as dancing and were placed in Christmas pantomimes when still children. When they grew up, they were given jobs in various Tiller troupes (each managed by a mature woman who watched out for them)... [This lithograph]... was intended for all of the Tiller Troupe performances. The black type at the bottom was surprinted later to indicate, in this instance, their appearance at the Palais de Glace...
