My favorite piece of art is a painting called “Le lit, Le baiser”. This piece was painted by Henri de Toulouse-Laurec, he is a French painter who was noted for his portrayal of Parisian nightlife of the late nineteenth century. He born into a noble family and because of inbreeding had different genetic problems; he also was an alcoholic most of his adult life which hastened his death. He is part of the generation of post-impressionism.
This piece was made in 1982. I like because this picture shows two women and they are prostitutes, in the painting they are giving a kiss. I think that this picture shows a mix of Brotherly love and sexual love. I like this because he shows a human part of prostitutes, which is usually separated from them.
Overall I like this painter, because he painted mainly women prostitutes or workers. Mainly he paints simple acts such as sleeping or doing laundry, but I think it conveys much more than that. Toulouse-Laurec is not as well known for his paintings, he is best known for his work as an illustrator. He has many famous Moulin Rouge posters and he created a particular aesthetic in this posters.
they look so in love :3
