AMBASSADEURS / ARISTIDE BRUANT TOULOUSE-LAUTREC VINTAGE BLACKLIGHT POSTER 1970's

Description: AMBASSADEURS / ARISTIDE BRUANT HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC Terrific original blacklight poster printed in the 1970s by Personality Posters, NYC The Montmartre chansonnier turned restauranteur, Aristide Bruant, was a strong, imposing personality, and in the several posters of him Toulouse-Lautrec conveys this by letting him dominate the picture completely, with virtually nothing else to distract our attention, and with Bruant's characteristic red scarf, hat and walking stick adding impact to the image...this design was seen by Bruant as a masterpiece, but the manager of the Ambassadeurs rejected it as too brutally frank and unflattering; the only way the performer could get it accepted was by warning the manager that he would not appear on stage unless there was a copy on either side of the proscenium, and unless the whole of Paris was plastered with further copies. The same image would be recycled by Lautrec two years later when Bruant appeared at the Eldorado. Reproduction of the classic Lautrec poster done in eye popping psychedelic blacklight.
