"Divan Japonais" is a lithographic poster created in 1893 by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This work is among Toulouse-Lautrec's most celebrated and is emblematic of his interest in the Parisian nightlife and the city's vibrant entertainment scene during the late 19th century. The poster was designed to promote the Divan Japonais, a popular Parisian café-concert located in the Montmartre district, known for its exotic Japanese-inspired interior and eclectic entertainment offerings, ranging from musical performances to cabaret acts.

The composition of "Divan Japonais" is notable for its bold use of line and color, characteristics that define Toulouse-Lautrec's innovative approach to lithography. The poster features three figures: the dancer Jane Avril, looking on from the audience; the critic Édouard Dujardin, seated beside her; and the singer Yvette Guilbert, who is recognizable by her black gloves and head, which is curiously omitted from the frame, focusing attention instead on her gesturing hands. This choice reflects Toulouse-Lautrec's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects and the atmosphere of the scene over literal representation.

"Divan Japonais" exemplifies Toulouse-Lautrec's mastery in capturing the dynamic and ephemeral nature of Parisian nightlife. His work not only documents the cultural milieu of his time but also contributes to the development of poster art as a serious artistic medium. The poster's striking design, with its simplified forms and strategic use of space, demonstrates the influence of Japanese prints on European art, a trend known as Japonisme, which was prevalent among avant-garde artists in the late 19th century.

Today, "Divan Japonais" is celebrated for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the vibrant cultural landscape of fin-de-siècle Paris. It remains a testament to Toulouse-Lautrec's innovative spirit and his ability to blend commercial and fine art, securing his legacy as one of the most influential graphic artists of his time.
