Painting Description
"May Belfort" is a lithograph created by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1895. The work is one of a series of portraits 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 would sing risqué songs while dressed as a baby, complete with bonnet and ruffled dress.
The lithograph captures Belfort's peculiar stage persona, emphasizing her childlike costume and the incongruity of her adult features. Toulouse-Lautrec's portrayal is both satirical and sympathetic, reflecting his fascination with the demimonde of Paris and the characters who inhabited it. The work is characterized by its bold lines, flat areas of color, and the use of caricature, which were hallmarks of Toulouse-Lautrec's style and contributed to the development of poster art during the period.
"May Belfort" exemplifies Toulouse-Lautrec's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with economy of line and color, as well as his ability to convey the atmosphere of the cabaret with a few deft strokes. The lithograph is a testament to the artist's place in the Belle Époque and his enduring influence on the graphic arts. Today, "May Belfort" is held in various art collections and is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Toulouse-Lautrec, offering insight into the vibrant and often subversive nightlife that was a key part of the cultural landscape of fin-de-siècle Paris.
