At the Folies Bergere, we have the Brothers Marco. A large incredible
double-jointed clown stares down his little partner. An exceptional
example of Lautrec's skill in rendering the human form in simple strong
line. He adds only a slight hint of colour. He captures quite simply,
the very essence of the performers during their act. One of his most
striking submissions to
"Le Rire."
"When the most famous of Paris cabarets (The Folies Bergere)
opened its doors in 1869, it presented variety programs including
animal and circus acts, similar to American vaudevilles. It was
not until later that its policy changed to concentrate on a line
of showgirls presenting various dances in revealing costumes. This
proved to be a far bigger attraction" (Gold
p.112)
