This publication is the first to celebrate the important creative collaboration between the artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) and his muse, the dancer Jane Avril (1868-1943). Known for her alluring style and exotic persona, her fame was assured by a series of dazzlingly inventive posters designed by Lautrec. She became an emblematic figure in his world of dancers, cabaret actors, musicians and prostitutes, but she was also one of the artist's closest friends. Their friendship is reflected in a series of remarkable portraits in which the star is shown as a private individual, contrasting with her exotic poster image and performances at the Moulin Rouge.
