Jane Avril

The dancer is captured in motion. Using a few bold shapes and colors, Lautrec created a poster that was effective even from afar.

The figure of Jane Avril immediately stands out due to her posture and the large areas of color. Upon closer inspection, one notices how the lettering and the shapes surrounding her are all part of the same composition. The poster promotes a performance while simultaneously imbuing the dancer with a distinct character of her own.
