MOULIN ROUGE Scarf

"One of the greatest painters of the Post-Impressionist period, Toulouse-Lautrec excelled at capturing people in their working environment, with the colour and the movement of the gaudy night-life present, but the glamour stripped away."
"[Henri de] Toulouse-Lautrec was drawn to Montmartre, an area of Paris famous for its bohemian lifestyle and for being the haunt of artists, writers, and philosophers. Tucked deep into Montmartre was the garden of Monsieur Pere Foret where Toulouse-Lautrec executed a series of pleasant plein-air paintings of Carmen Gaudin, the same red-head model who appears in The Laundress (1888). When the nearby Moulin Rouge cabaret opened its doors, Toulouse-Lautrec was commissioned to produce a series of posters. Thereafter, the cabaret reserved a seat for him, and displayed his paintings. Among the well-known works that he painted for the Moulin Rouge and other Parisian nightclubs are depictions of the singer Yvette Guilbert; the dancer Louise Weber, known as the outrageous La Goulue ("The Glutton"), who created the "French Can-Can"; and the much more subtle dancer Jane Avril."- Quoted from the Toulouse-Lautrec Foundation
Colourful scarf reflects the theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century, the can can skirts, the famous dancers of the Moulin Rouge.
