Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
'Yvette Guilbert—Chanson Ancienne' original lithograph by Toulouse-Lautrec
1898

About the Item

In this lithograph, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec presents a captivating portrait of the Belle Epoche actress and singer Yvette Guilbert. She is shown here seemingly in repose on a chaise lounge, but actually during a stage performance at the Moulin Rouge: her heat tils back and she peeks out of her nearly-closed eyes to emphasize the emotion of her song. All around her, the ruffles and ribbons of her costume emphasize her femininity. Lautrec made dozens of prints, drawings and paintings of this actress in his quintessential Art Nouveau style, each a record of this incredible time in European history and entertainment. First state of two Monogram in the stone, lower right 12.75 x 10.5 inches, image 19.63 x 14.63 inches, sheet 30 x 26 inches, frame Ref: Wittrock 276 I/I, Metzger 255 I/II, Duvigneau, Götz 313, Delteil 257 Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting and mounting, and Museum Glass to inhibit UV damage and to reduce glare. Matted with a quarter-inch cream bevel and housed in a vintage red and gold finish wood moulding. Overall good condition; some minor toning to edges of paper, hidden by matting; newly reframed with a vintage moulding. Henri Toulouse-Lautrec became one of France's most prominent Post-Impressionist painters and capturing the night life of part of the city, was described as "the soul of Montmartre." He also did a number of illustrations for the magazine Le Rire during the 1890s. Toulouse-Lautrec was born in Albi, France, in the mid-Pyranees region. He was the first child of a Count and Countess whose aristocratic lineage dated back over a thousand years but whose fortune had collapsed before he was born. At birth, they gave him the full name of Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa. The parents were first cousins, and credited to inbreeding were the many birth defects that Henri suffered including an osteoporosis condition that left him with weak bones that did not heal properly when his legs were fractured when he was ages 13 and 14. In adulthood, he was only four feet and six inches in height, although his torso was fully developed. Growing up, he was unable to participate in normal activities, so he turned to art expression. Toulouse-Lautrec moved to Paris in 1882 in order to learn from artists by working with them in their studios. He was especially impressed with Impressionist painter and sculptor Edgar Degas. Lautrec's subjects were primarily the bohemian world of Montmartre, the city's quarter where he lived and the area that had a mix that included starving' artists, actors, actresses, singers and dancers such as La Goulue who created the Can Can and performed at the Moulin Rouge. It was also the location of racetracks, dance halls and many bars and brothels, likely the places where he, a frequent visitor, got the syphilis that along with excessive alcohol consumption added to his health problems and caused his death. He partied and sketched the nightlife, and in the daytime, converted his sketches into paintings and lithographs. Shortly before he died on September 9, 1901 at the age of 36, he was put in a sanatorium after his highly protective mother was unable to keep him at home. He is buried in Malromé at his family's estate, and he is buried in Verdelais, Gironde, close to his death place. The Comtesse Adéle Toulouse-Lautrec, his mother, and his dealer, Maurice Joyant, worked hard after his death to keep his name alive and promote his artwork. Because of their efforts, a museum in Albi was built in his honor. Two movies titled Moulin Rouge are about his life. [Biography via AskArt]
