Limited edition offset lithograph, edition of 1000
28 ¼ x 22 inches (paper size), 21 5/8 x 17 3/8 inches (image size)

Signed in pencil in the lower left by Count de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1900- ), first cousin and last living relative of the artist Henri de Toulouse Lautrec (French, 1864-1901).

As the key name in late 19th century French lithography, Toulouse-Lautrec single-handedly elevated color lithography from commercial advertising to fine art. Here, one of Lautrec’s favorite models, Mademoiselle Cha-u-Kao is depicted at the Moulin Rouge. A woman of many guises – actress, clown, dancer, gymnast, equine star, and acrobat – she adopted her name “Cha-u-Kao” from the evocative name Chauhut-Chaos (“chahut et chaos” or “noise and chaos”) for a particularly wild variation of the cancan. This print is a lithograph from the original oil on canvas of the same name in the Oskar Reinhart Collection, Switzerland .

A hand pulled lithograph rendition on Rives paper of the 1993 oil on canvas painting by Julio Larraz entitled Impact. Lithograph is signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. A master of realism, Larraz’s enigmatic still lifes convey an atmosphere of impending drama, while monumentalizing familiar subjects both visually and psychologically, and metaphorically  referencing an uneven balance of political power, authority, and aggression.
