Painting Description
"Divan Japonais" is a renowned lithograph poster created by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1892-1893. This work is a quintessential example of Toulouse-Lautrec's innovative approach to poster art and his deep connection to the vibrant nightlife of Paris during the Belle Époque. The poster was commissioned to advertise the reopening of the Divan Japonais, a popular café-concert located in the Montmartre district, which was known for its eclectic mix of entertainment and its bohemian clientele.
The composition of "Divan Japonais" is striking and sophisticated, showcasing Toulouse-Lautrec's mastery in capturing the essence of Parisian culture. The poster features three prominent figures: Jane Avril, a famous can-can dancer and a close friend of the artist, is seated in the foreground with an air of detached elegance. She is dressed in a fashionable black dress and hat, her pale face and red hair providing a stark contrast. Behind her, the critic Édouard Dujardin is depicted with a monocle and a top hat, leaning forward in his seat. On stage, the singer Yvette Guilbert is performing, recognizable by her distinctive long black gloves, although her face is intentionally cropped out of the frame, a technique that adds a sense of immediacy and focus to the scene.
Toulouse-Lautrec's use of bold outlines, flat areas of color, and innovative cropping techniques were influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e prints, which were highly fashionable in Paris at the time. This influence is evident in the simplified forms and the dynamic composition of the poster. "Divan Japonais" not only serves as an advertisement but also as a vivid snapshot of the cultural milieu of late 19th-century Paris. The work is celebrated for its artistic merit and its historical significance, encapsulating the spirit of an era and the unique vision of one of its most iconic artists.
