Yvette Guilbert 1894

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's 1894 lithograph "Yvette Guilbert" is a striking example of the artist's signature style. The artwork uses strong, graphic lines to depict the famous French singer Yvette Guilbert, capturing her distinctive persona and theatrical presence. Lautrec's use of bold colors and flat areas of color are characteristic of his Post-Impressionist style, influenced by Japanese woodblock prints. The dramatic composition, with Guilbert's figure elongated and silhouetted against a plain background, emphasizes the impact of her performance.
