Laziness is a strange thing, it makes you think that it is comfort, rest, it is a blessing; but in fact what it gives you is boredom, it is tiredness, it is depression; it deprives you of hope for the future, it severs your friendship with others, and makes you more and more narrow-minded and more and more suspicious of life. — Roland

The Moulin Rouge Ball

Lautrec was born into an aristocratic family in France. As an innovator of the arts, he is known for depicting the lives and dancers of the unbridled artists of the Montbalé region of Paris. This man of difference, in this world, his genius is recognized.

When he was just 17 years old, he said to a friend: "I try to describe the truth and not the ideal."

At the age of 18, he came to Paris to enter the Colmont Studio, and later became acquainted with Van Gauguin and Gauguin. Lautrec was not interested in Impressionism, he admired De's warm sketches, agitated lines and vivid silhouettes, and was once interested in Gauguin's decorative lines and plain colors, but he was stronger than Gauguin, and soon he was transforming everything he had learned, as well as the influence of Dumière.

Vincent van Gogh

Lautrec greatly admired Degas's chalk paintings, and this portrait of Van Gogh was painted using pastel, and the brush was full of passion.

Lautrec," Ragolux Into the Moulin Rouge

It is a figure painting created by Lautrec at the Moulin Rouge in 1892. This work is an illusory representation of the ball queen Ragula, accompanied by her sister and dancers, as she enters the Moulin Rouge dance hall.

"Ra. Gulu walks into the Moulin Rouge" Picture is light and breathable, and the transparent lines of the picture are flexible. That's because Lautrec likes to dilute paint with gasoline so that colors can keep up with rapidly moving brushes, so his paintings give people a brisk, flexible and refreshing look. This method of painting is particularly suitable for expressing moving pictures, so his pictures are full of movement, and his characters seem to be in motion all the time.

Lautrec's Salon on Moulin Rouge

Lautrec's drawing style is similar to that of comics, but his drawings are by no means shallow or simple, and he draws some of the most memorable and intriguing female figures in the history of art. In Lautrec's paintings, two elements are equally important: a woman, which reminds us of Renoir and Degas, although they are facing each other, and the background in which they are located, which also reminds us of Degas, but the two are not the same thing. Renoir's women are young, round, clean, and always happy; Lautrec's women are old, gaunt, and obscene. Even if he shows a slight pride at the moment of his painting, thinking that he has the means and the eyes to deal with everything, their fate is still destined to be destroyed with this world.

Lautrec "The Girl in Makeup"

In some of Lautrec's works, there are still remnants of traditional beauty, or the possibility of traditional beauty—at this time he paints all the backs or sides, and we can only see the back, the back of the head, or the part of the face outside the eyebrows, such as "The Laundry Woman" (1884-1886), "The Red-Haired Woman in the White Shirt" (1889), "The Girl in Makeup" (1896) and so on. It's a bit like Degas's Bath Girls series, and we can feel similar beauty, but maybe the painter hasn't figured out how to dig out the ugliness of women yet, so let's not paint their beauty.

As a post-Impressionist painter, Lautrec's painting technique was deeply inspired by Impressionism, but it was unique in combining ukiyo-e brushwork with his personal realist talent. We can see the shadows of Seurat, Whistler and Van Gogh in his paintings. But Lautrec's most admired Impressionist painter was Degas, who was passionate about Degas's drawings, agitated lines and vivid silhouettes. The combination of large flat coloring and fine small brush strokes and long lines shows his real challenge to Impressionist painting, which also makes him transcend the Impressionist painter's view of pure color. Thus making color an important means of expressing strong emotions. Thus, we can think of Lautrec as a precursor to Expressionism.
