La Goulue 1898

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's 1898 poster, *La Goulue*, captures the vibrant energy of the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris. The famous can-can dancer, La Goulue, is depicted in mid-kick, her red stockings a striking contrast to her white dress. The poster's bold lines and flat colors are characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, while its subject matter reflects Lautrec's fascination with Parisian nightlife. The poster's dynamic composition, with La Goulue seemingly leaping out of the frame, effectively captures the excitement of the Moulin Rouge and the vivacious energy of its performers.
