Le Divan Japonais 1893

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Le Divan Japonais" (1893), a lithograph poster, depicts a Parisian cabaret of the same name. The artist's bold, graphic style, characterized by flat planes of color and strong outlines, captures the energy and dynamism of the scene. The poster's design, featuring a stylish woman in a black hat and a man in a top hat, alongside the venue's name and address, effectively served as a visual advertisement for the establishment. Today, the artwork remains a significant example of the artist's iconic contributions to Art Nouveau and the poster art movement.
