1. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec - The Two Girlfriends, 18942. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec The Two Friends 1894 “Throughout the 1890s Toulouse-Lautrec visited brothels in Paris and spent days observing the women there. A series of paintings on this theme culminated in ‘Au Salon de la Rue des Moulins’ of about 1894 (Albi, Musée Toulouse-Lautrec), which depicts the women sitting awaiting their clients. This painting (2) may represent an early stage in the genesis of the Albi picture, but it also belongs to a series of paintings focusing on the friendships between the women which often, as here, portrayed intimate moments or gestures of companionship or sympathy. “ [source] -- source link
