The Dancing World of Toulouse Lautrec

Enter the spectacular world of dance and performance in fin-de-siècle Paris. Trace the history of female soloists such as Loïe Fuller, theatrical spaces such as the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère, and the development of stage and commercial technologies at the end of the 19th century; see how dance shaped Toulouse-Lautrec’s modern vision of gesture, motion, and light.

Very interesting, I like the beginning with the history of ballet/dance and the contemporary social reality. I really like the posters and the history od them and the details of the movements, the meaning of the gestures and the dancers (Please add more! Point out the differences between the dancers. That was so interesting) I would suggest to involve more of the evolution of dance from Degas through Toulouse-Lautrec to Picasso and maybe something more about the audience of that time. Thank you very much for this journey, I have enjoed it very much!
