Through the ages, artists of all kinds have been attracted to the vibrancy and vivacity of the Moulin Rouge.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec found inspiration in the Cancan and the impertinence of La Belle Epoque or "The Beautiful Era" that was late 19th-Century Paris.
During the 1920s, Mistinguett, the "Queen of the Dance Hall" played muse to the young sketcher
Gesmar.
Since then, artists have continued to produce
hundreds of paintings,
prints,
posters, and
drawings that capture life as a performer in one of the most
iconic venues in the world. Fans of Toulouse-Lautrec and the Moulin Rouge will enjoy
The Art of the Moulin Rouge.
Filled with
coloring pages,
dot-to-dot puzzles, and
color-by-number templates
based on the theatre's most famous posters and program art, coloring enthusiasts will enjoy adding their own unique spin to these legendary and symbolic works of post-impressionism.
Following a brief introduction to color theory and ideas for working in different color mediums,
present-day artists embark on a creative journey through time to celebrate the
lush lifestyles that epitomize Parisian culture as seen through the portals of the storied Moulin Rouge. Thirty full-color Moulin Rouge postcards are also included in this beautiful book.
