Description: PERHAPS HENRI DE TOULOUSE LAUTREC'S MOST FAMOUS IMAGE AND POSTER: JANE AVRIL (DELTEIL 345; WITTROCK P6; ADHÉMAR 12),1893. LITHOGRAPH IN 5 COLOURS, ON WOVE PAPER, SIGNED AND DATED IN THE STONE. AN IMPRESSION FROM THE FIRST EDITION (OF TWO), WITTROCK'S SECOND STATE (OF THREE), BEFORE THE ADDITIONAL TEXT, PUBLISHED BY KLEINMANN, PARIS. Printed close to the edges of the full sheet (as issued). Nice overall w/ some toning; age-appropriate vintage condition. Backing as shown. Size aprox 31 in. (78.80 cm.) (height) by 23 in. (59.00 cm.) (width).Lautrec’s graphic posters—for performers, like Jane Avril, or dance halls, like the Moulin Rouge—embody the ebullient, frenetic spirit of the nightlife in fin-de-siècle Paris. Avril, a lifelong friend of the artist, commissioned this print to advertise her cabaret show at the Jardin de Paris in 1893. Lautrec’s bold composition is characterized by a radically skewed perspective, severe cropping, flattened forms, and sinuous lines—such as those describing Avril’s frilly costume. The “cancan” kick of Avril’s leg, one of her signature dance moves, finds a formal echo in the vertical thrust of the double-bass, gripped by an unseen musician. To create this print, Lautrec used several lithographic stones, one for each color—inky black, acidic orange, yellow, and green.
