- L'Estampe originale, Paris 1893, 31,5x43cm, en feuilles. - Original print by Henri de Toulouse, from the series Le Café-Concert published by the Publications de l'Estampe Originale. Very rare and beautiful lithography is one of the 500 original proofs drawn on vellum by Edouard Ancourt's printing press. [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Estampe originale d'Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, de la série Le Café-Concert éditée par les Publications de l'Estampe Originale. Très rare et belle lithographie faisant partie des 500 épreuves originales tirées sur vélin par l'imprimerie d'Edouard Ancourt. Portrait d'Edmée Lescot, la « chanteuse cosmopolite », en costume de danseuse espagnole : jupon, boléro et chapeau. Lautrec privilégie à cette époque l'encre lithographique, et esquisse des lignes simples et pleines de mouvement, qui renvoient aux estampes japonaises ukiyo-e. Le monogramme de l'artiste, les lettres « HTL » réunies dans un cercle, a également été inspiré par les motifs des tsuba et des poignées d'épées japonaises. Véritable ode au café-concert, cette série réalisée par Toulouse-Lautrec et Henri-Gabriel Ibels capture l'essence de la vie parisienne et le dynamisme de ses nuits. Les planches étaient accompagnées d'un pamphlet de l'écrivain Georges Montorgueil chantant les louanges de ces établissements injustement méprisés, qu'il qualifie de « toniques pour la vie moderne ». Bien loin de l'atmosphère empesée des salles de théâtre ou de concert, ces lieux du « sans-gêne » prennent un essor considérable à la Belle Epoque et lancent des artistes d'une remarquable modernité. Les deux peintres dressent ici le portrait des vedettes de cabaret les plus célèbres de l'époque, dans le mouvement de leur « chorégraphie épileptique » ou la grâce de leurs poses. Les grands noms des cafés-concerts, dont Jane Avril, Yvette Guilbert - devenue muse de Toulouse-Lautrec - ou Aristide Bruant apparaissent sous des traits francs et assurés, inspirés des gravures sur bois japonaises. En filigrane, l'influence de l'impressionnisme est également palpable - le style prenant un élan à la fin du siècle. Toulouse-Lautrec figure d'ailleurs régulièrement au salon des Indépendants depuis 1889 et y livre sa vision du Tout-Paris, allant des salons de la haute société aux bordels de la capitale en passant par les cabarets dont le Moulin Rouge, pour qui il réalise une affiche restée célèbre. Autre maître de l'affiche et du dessin, Ibels aura plusieurs collaborations avec les éditions de l'Estampe Originale, dont une série de dessins sur le cirque et réalise en parallèle de nombreuses illustrations pour des journaux populaires, dans un style vigoureux et incisif. Rare estampe en parfait état de conservation, qui renvoie aux fastes du "Paris by night fin de siècle".
