Toulouse Lautrec paintings of dancehall performers and prostitutes are personal and humanistic. They reveal the sadness and humor hidden behind rice powders and gaslights. Their influences were long lasting. To say the least, there would be no Andy Warhol, if there was no Lautrec.
En plein air Toulouse Lautrec paintings soon began after Toulouse moved to Paris in 1882. He often posed sitters in the Montmartre garden of his neighbour, Pere Forest, a retired photographer. One of his favourite models was a prostitute nicknamed Golden Helmet. She is seen in the painting The Streetwalker.
Yvette Guilbert and Jane Avril, two of Toulouse's favourite cafe concert stars were featured in one of his Toulouse Lautrec paintings, Divan Japonais. Yvette appeared at the upper left corner of the composition, with her head cropped at the top edge, her body elongated, wearing her trademark clothes.
Gustave Courbet paintings were done in an emphatically realistic style, particularly in reference to a group of artwork that included The Stonebreakers and A Burial at Omans. The unvarnished realism of Gustave's imagery was dismissed and derided by critics for the ugliness of his figures they described as peasants in their Sunday best.
One of Gustave Courbet paintings on monumental canvas, The Painter's Studio : A Real Allegory Summing Up a Seven Year Phase of my Artistic Life, was rejected by the Exposition Universelle jury in 1855. As a retaliation, Gustave mounted his own exhibition of more than forty works in his Pavilion of Realism, built within sight of the official venue.
During the 1850s, Gustave Courbet paintings went beyond the Omans subjects in their embrace of modernity. They captured the cafe culture of bohemian Paris through portraits of its denizens and works inspired by popular cafe songs. They also featured hunting scenes that brought Gustave critical and popular success.
