November 15, 2014, 11:30 a.m. — Toulouse-Lautrec’s Dancers: On and Off Stage
Cabaret dancers are one of the main focuses of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s portfolio. Many of his lithographs depict them in their stylish appearance, performing expressive dances, and addressing a new audience with a taste for a spicier, flashier, more interactive kind of entertainment. These works grab attention, but others depict the more intimate moments of the modern, independent woman’s private life.
In conjunction with the exhibition The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec: Prints and Posters
Gallery Sessions, impromptu interactions facilitated by Museum educators that explore the creative process, art history, and the experience of art, take place daily in select galleries. Groups meet in the galleries noted on the schedule. Gallery Sessions are free with Museum admission. No registration is required.
Sign language–interpreted Gallery Sessions are held every fourth Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m. FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.
