Poster Cabaret

Here are some more information for Poster Cabaret:

Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec or Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, a Post- Impressionist artist, was born on November 24, 1864, to a patrician family in Albi, France. The son of Count Alphonse-Charles de Toulouse-Lautrec and Adele Tapié de Céleyran, Henri was the last progeny in a lineage of aristocrats and was due to take over as the Count of Toulouse, had he not died prior to his father. Due his delicate physical health, he was quiet a protected child who never got enough opportunities to enjoy his aristocratic lifestyle. Henri fractured both his legs by a fall, in his adolescence, atrophying the normal growth of his legs. Abetted by an inherited calcium deficiency and a pair of crippled limbs, he was permanently stunted for life.

In 1882, Henri shifted to Paris to pursue his studies in Art and settled in Montmartre. Absorbed in to the bohemian existence of the period and addicted to alcohol, he soon became an aficionado of nightlife. He became a regular guest at the cafes and cabaret entertainment centers like the Moulin Rouge. Throughout the carousing, Henri sketched and painted, picking his cues from the scenes of the Parisian nightclubs. All the works were put on canvas, or completed into lithographs. Alcoholism started taking its toll on his health and in the year 1899, he suffered a spell of delirium tremens. To top it all, he contracted syphilis and completely lost the track of his health. On September 9, 1901, at the young age of 36, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec succumbed to a stroke at the Chateau. He was cremated near the Calvary Hill, at Verdelais. Posthumously, vast demand was created for his paintings and posters, which fetched towering prices at auctions and sales.

Compared to the other artists of his era, Henri shot to fame and established himself as an artist, quite early, in his brief lifespan. His style was solitary, full of powerful play of colors and the delicate brush strokes. A representation of movements in his surroundings was always portrayed in his works. Henri's use of movements was quite contrary to the existing approach of anatomic correctness of depictions in contemporary art. Later on, art historian recognized him as an inventor of Art-Poster for the sheer brilliance in his swift sketches and paintings. Some of Henri's famous works are the "Moulin Rouge-La Goulue (1891)," the "Portrait of Gabrielle," the "May Belfort," the "At the Moulin Rouge: Two Women Waltzing," "In Bed (1893)," and "At the Circus Fernando."

An inconsiderate and sharp raconteur of both the flashy Parisian nightlife and the fetid rudiments of late-19th-century society, Henri dared and intrepidly fought all the physical odds in his life to taste success eventually. He died at the age of thirty-six years, on September 09, 1901 at Malrome.

Rimini, a city with famous births

There are a lot of celebrities from the world of entertainment somehow related to the city of Rimini. Rimini has given birth to many famous people, or for many was a special place.

The first, the most important, the most connected of all was undoubtedly Federico Fellini. The great master of the Italian cinema was born in Rimini on 20 January 1920. Here he spent his youth and the years of high school, which years later he would have returned several times in his films. But since he moved to Rome when he was twenty years old, he came back few times and reluctantly to Rimini, where his family, his mother and sister still lived. But Rimini for him was above all a place of memory, of remembrance. Here is how the Master described this fact: “Above all, I think, the back [is] a pleased masochistic rechewing of memory: a theatrical, literary operation. Sure, it can have its charm. A sleepy, turbid charm. But here: I can not consider Rimini as an objective fact.”

However some of its most popular characters are directly derived from his own memories of high school, like Amarcord, a film that marks exactly his return, with the memory, to the days of his youth. These were memoirs on which Fellini thought about several times, thinking about when he was a child and went in carriage with his parents, or the houses where he lived with his family. A familiar Rimini made up of emotions, which he was not able to objectify. His favorite places, which are still popular tourist destinations, were the pier of Rimini, the Lighthouse on the port channel, the Malatesta Temple and the Cinema Fulgor.

The city of Rimini still remembers the Grand Master who was born here and who was buried beside his wife, Giulietta Masina, with many events and initiatives in his honor. In Rimini is located the Federico Fellini Foundation and Museum of Fellini, which holds texts, videos and documents of various kinds on Fellini. The Foundation organizes various activities, such as the exhibition "The books of my house" where you can visit the more than 2,000 volumes of his personal library. The Exhibition can be visited by tourists and fans until August 16. Also film retrospectives on the major masters of cinema are often organized here.

But also many others have given luster and prestige to this city, here for example Hugo Pratt was born, one of the most famous cartoonists in the world, creator of Corto Maltese, one of the most famous comics internationally. Here also Renato Zavagli, called René Gruau was born, one of the most important graphic designers in the world, who created some of the most famous posters for the cabarets in Paris. Always here in Rimini Delio Rossi was born, a former Italian soccer player and coach. And in more recent times, Samuele Bersani, original Italian singer and songwriter. To give honor to Rimini, there was also Carlton Myers, one of the greatest basketball players in Italy, who played for the Rimini Basket team from 1988 to 1992 and in the 1994-1995 season. Here he developed professionally and put himself in the spotlight for the first time.
