Ambassadeurs, Aristide Bruant, Toulouse-Lautrec, 1892
Black hat, red scarf, the face of Montmartre.
What
The poster for Aristide Bruant at the Ambassadeurs, 1892, in the BnF impression; the BnF lists the maker as unidentified, and the design is the one the Art Institute of Chicago and the Metropolitan Museum hold as Toulouse-Lautrec's.
Why
Bruant sang at the Ambassadeurs that summer, and the poster gave Paris one image to know him by.
Notice
The scarf is one flat red shape that spills to the bottom edge, and the hat is a single black brim against the cream ground.
“A singer who made himself a trademark, and a painter who drew it.”
