Divan Japonais (c. 1892–1893) by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Poster

Divan Japonais offers a vivid glimpse into the lively nightlife of Montmartre. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec portrays the scene using broad areas of flat colour and graceful outlines, a style heavily influenced by Japonisme. A lady in a flowing black gown sweeps across the foreground, her profile illuminated against warm saffron hues and smoky greys. The lettering elegantly curves around the cabaret’s address at 75 rue des Martyrs. One can almost hear the clinking of glasses and the orchestra tuning up in the background.
