$480.00

May Belfort, a lithograph after Henri de Toulouse‑Lautrec, authorized by the Toulouse‑Lautrec Museum, revisits the artist’s iconic portrayal of the celebrated performer. The composition centers on May Belfort in her signature red dress and oversized bonnet, cradling a small black cat—an image that captures her eccentric stage persona and the intimate, theatrical charm of Parisian cabaret culture. This later authorized edition preserves the expressive linework and understated wit that define Lautrec’s celebrated poster designs.

Artist Bio

Henri de Toulouse‑Lautrec (1864–1901) was a French Post‑Impressionist painter, printmaker, and illustrator whose work defined the visual culture of Paris’s Belle Époque. Born into an aristocratic family in southern France, he settled in Montmartre, where he chronicled cabarets, performers, and nightlife through paintings and groundbreaking lithographic posters. Works such as Moulin Rouge: La Goulue and May Belfort elevated advertising to high art through bold composition, flattened color, and expressive line. Despite his short life, Toulouse‑Lautrec’s innovations in printmaking and graphic design continue to influence modern visual culture.
