Vintage TOULOUSE-LAUTREC Litho Print BRUANT AU MIRLITON
This is a vintage lithograph print from the set printed in 1951 by Mourlot Freres of Paris. Original poster artwork by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Printed on superb quality paper; colors are bright and crisp. SIZE: Approx. 9 1/2" x 12 1/2". Aristide Bruant was a successful singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur who ran a cabaret in the Montmartre quarter of Paris. When he began performing at up-scale café-concerts on the Champs-Élysées, he immediately commissioned Toulouse-Lautrec to market his rough street persona in a manner that would appeal to a bourgeois audience. Seizing on Bruant's trademark costume of a wide-brimmed hat, cape, and red scarf, in 1893 Lautrec designed a sparse yet iconic image that promoted both the performer’s career as well as his own.
