43. TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de
In the Salon of the Rue des Moulins
Mireille was one of the girls in the brothel in the Rue d'Amboise. Lautrec was particularly fond of her. She can be seen in the
large painting In the Salon of the Rue des Moulins, sitting in half-profile in the foreground, with her right hand round her
drawn-up leg. The girls in the salon await their customers under the strict gaze of Madame.
The title of the picture is not correct as the brothel shown here is not the one in the Rue des Moulins but the one in the Rue
d'Amboise, in which Mireille worked for a time. The artist only frequented the Rue des Moulins after Mireille left for Argentine.
Between 1892 and 1895, Lautrec produced innumerable studies, about fifty paintings and over one hundred drawings from the
brothels. The greatest achievement of these works was the present famous painting. It is one of the few compositions for
which he relied on his memory and imagination, supported by jottings and sketches. He worked on it for months in his studio.

44. TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de
Ball at the Moulin Rouge
The Moulin Rouge dance hall was opened on 5 October 1889, and was the meeting place of Paris society, artists and
demi-monde. The red windmill at the entrance was a mock-up; its back consisted of various booths and a wooden
elephant that could be turned into a stage. The venue was lit up as bright as day and decorated with mirrors, galleries
and gaslights. In the middle was a large dance floor surrounded by a promenade, tables, and a garden.
Lautrec had a table reserved for him from the very first day, and his sketches and paintings constituted the house
chronicle. They made a significant contribution to the fame of the Moulin Rouge and were exhibited from time to time in a
small gallery in the foyer.

45. TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de
Monsieur Maxime Dethomas at the Opera Ball
Maxime Dethomas (1868-1928), painter and graphic artist, was a friend of Lautrec's and one of his favoured
companions on brother-crawls. His painting was strongly influenced by Lautrec, with whom he travelled to
Normandy and Holland. Dethomas was tall and chubby but, in spite of his stature, tended to be insecure.

46. TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de
At the Moulin Rouge
The Moulin Rouge dance hall was opened on 5 October 1889, and was the meeting place of Paris society, artists and
demi-monde. The red windmill at the entrance was a mock-up; its back consisted of various booths and a wooden
elephant that could be turned into a stage. The venue was lit up as bright as day and decorated with mirrors, galleries
and gaslights. In the middle was a large dance floor surrounded by a promenade, tables, and a garden.
Between 1890 and 1896 the Moulin Rouge inspired Lautrec to no less than thirty paintings, which give us a better
picture of the famous dance hall, its atmosphere and its clientele, than any photo-reportage could have achieved.

47. TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de
Marcelle Lender Dancing the Bolero in the Operetta "Chilpéric"
Chilpéric was a Merovingian operetta by Florimond Hervé in which Marcelle Lender (1863-1927) played the lead.
Lautrec was so fascinated by her decolleté, her back, and her costume that he saw the performance several times. He
made six lithographs of Lender and the present painting which was preceded by protracted studies.
In the painting Lautrec presents the scene against which the dancer's movements can be best observed. He uses
beams of light shining up from below, which give a mask-like and yet highly individualised and characteristic
appearance to the faces.
Marcelle Lender was a variety artist who first appeared at the Theatre Montmartre at the age of 16. Her greatest
success was in the operetta Chilpéric in which she both sang and danced.

48. TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de
Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September
1901), also known as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter, printmaker,
draughtsman and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of
Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant
and provocative images of the modern, sometimes decadent, life of those times.
Toulouse-Lautrec is among the best-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period,
with Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin. In a 2005 auction at Christie's auction house, La
Blanchisseuse, his early painting of a young laundress, sold for US$22.4 million and set
a new record for the artist for a price at auction.
