"Of all the music hall performers who inspired Lautrec, Yvette
Guilbert exerted by far the greatest hold over him. He was completely
fascinated by the style and atmosphere of her act. Lautrec first saw
her in about 1892, she had revolutionized the whole atmosphere of
the cafe concert by a totally new approach to the performance of a
song. Standing almost still except for gestures of her long thin arms
in black gloves, which she almost invariably wore, her face almost
expressionless except for the twist of her lips, she sang songs with
highly scandalous words and themes. The Paris audience was captivating
and none more than Lautrec. He found the whole atmosphere of her act
and personality magnetic. Over the years they became well known to
each other and she inspired some of his finest lithographs, drawings
and paintings" (Weston
No.5 1989 89)
