Painting Description
"May Belfort" is a lithograph created by the French painter and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1895. The work is part of a series of posters and prints that Toulouse-Lautrec made of performers from the Parisian nightlife scene of the late 19th century. May Belfort was an Irish singer who became popular in Parisian cabarets for her performances in which she often sang risqué songs while dressed as a baby or young girl, a persona that both intrigued and scandalized Parisian audiences.
The lithograph captures Belfort's distinctive stage presence and costume, featuring her in a black dress with white lace, holding a small black cat, which was a recurring motif in her performances. The image is characterized by Toulouse-Lautrec's bold lines, simplified forms, and a limited but striking color palette, which were hallmarks of his graphic work. The poster reflects the artist's fascination with the demimonde of Paris and his ability to convey the personalities of its inhabitants with empathy and a keen eye for detail.
"May Belfort" is considered an important work within Toulouse-Lautrec's oeuvre, exemplifying his contribution to the development of modern lithography and his influence on the art of the poster. The print is not only a significant piece of art history but also a cultural artifact that provides insight into the vibrant and often transgressive entertainment culture of fin-de-siècle Paris. Today, the lithograph can be found in the collections of various art museums and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its sociocultural context.
