A 1952 lithograph after Toulouse-Lautrec’s Bal du Moulin Rouge, printed using only the black key plate from the original multi-color poster. The composition isolates the bold silhouettes of dancers and spectators, with the central figure of La Goulue rendered in stark contrast, emphasizing Lautrec’s mastery of line, movement, and crowd dynamics.
This posthumous printing, in the format of the Maîtres de l’Affiche plates, highlights the structural foundation of Lautrec’s design by removing color and focusing on graphic intensity. It offers a distilled view of one of his most iconic Moulin Rouge images, prized for its immediacy and striking use of positive and negative space.
