In the mid-1890s Toulouse-Lautrec intensively dealt with Paris’ demimonde and the world of brothels. His depictions of low life in the entertainment district Montmatre, here especially his posters, made him known as an artist of “Belle Époque" at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Using the techniques of painting, drawing and lithography, he portrayed in large-scale figural scenes as well as in portrait-like single scenarios the lively doings of a colourfully mixed society in cafes and cabarets, in artists’ studios and galleries, in music and dance halls and salons.
