"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
