Painting Description
"La Goulue" is a prominent poster created by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1891. The work is a lithograph in color, measuring 195 x 120 cm, and is considered one of Toulouse-Lautrec's most famous pieces. It was commissioned to promote the famous cancan dancer Louise Weber, known by her stage name La Goulue (The Glutton), who was a star at the Moulin Rouge, a popular Parisian nightclub.
The poster captures the vibrant and decadent atmosphere of the Montmartre district's nightlife during the Belle Époque. Toulouse-Lautrec's distinctive style is evident in the bold use of line and color, which conveys the dynamic movement of the dance and the lively character of La Goulue herself. The composition features La Goulue mid-kick, with her skirt billowing, as her dance partner, Valentin le Désossé (Valentin the Boneless), looks on. The background is filled with the silhouettes of the audience, emphasizing the popularity of the spectacle and the Moulin Rouge.
As a work of art, "La Goulue" is significant for its innovative graphic design and its role in the development of poster art as a serious artistic medium. Toulouse-Lautrec's posters were instrumental in elevating the status of commercial lithography to an art form, and "La Goulue" is a prime example of this transformation. The poster not only advertised the Moulin Rouge and its performers but also captured the essence of an era, making it an important cultural artifact of late 19th-century Paris.
Today, "La Goulue" is held in high regard by art historians and is part of the collection of several museums around the world. It continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and as a symbol of the bohemian lifestyle that defined Montmartre at the turn of the century.
