Unmaking Toulouse-Lautrec

Moulin Rouge Can-Can girls Mia Aguirre

Rediscover the bohemian world of the Moulin Rouge with legendary artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and the women he immortalized. Dive into the underbelly of old Paris and rub shoulders with the dancers, prostitutes and outcasts that inspired the most enticing, elegant and provocative art ever to launch a thousand refrigerator magnets. Through imagery, text and dance, UNMAKING TOULOUSE-LAUTREC explores the ecstasy of creativity against the agony of the body in the sexiest art history lesson you’ll ever have.
