Greutzner Robins, Anna / Ireson, Nancy
?This publication celebrates for the first time the important creative collaboration between the artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec (18641901) and his muse, the dancer Jane Avril (18681943). Avril was one of the stars of Moulin Rouge in the 1890s, and was nicknamed La Mlinite after a form of explosive. She was known for her alluring style and exotic persona, and her fame was assured by a series of dazzlingly inventive posters designed by Lautrec.
