Toulouse- Lautrec's painting "At the Moulin Rouge" is one of the painter's most well known pieces. this painting uses Japanese influence in positioning the perspective of the painting as well as the law of simultaneous contrast. In addition, Toulouse uses color to represent the feeling of a person or object rather than its literal identity. Finally, the subject of this painting is typical of Toulouse Lautrec's paintings; the artist often painted scenes from the demimonde (Parisian underworld) in order to show the more sinister side of life.
For more information concerning Toulouse- Lautrec's portrayal of the Moulin Rouge, I have posted a link to a discussion about the artist and his works.
