Dissecting Orpheus in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!
Dissecting Orpheus in Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge! At the opening—and again at the closing—of Moulin Rouge!, Henri Toulouse- Lautrec sings “Nature Boy.” Dressed as the Magic Sitar in the fictional theater production of Spectacular! Spectacular!, he chants “The greatest thing you'll ever learn / Is just to love and to love in return.” These verses frame and emphasize the overarching theme of passionate love through the medium of music. That some form of personification of Love and Music lies at the heart of the Orpheus myth will be no surprise to classically trained reader. But what might be surprising is that in the publicity surrounding Moulin Rouge!, Baz Luhrmann insisted that this film was his expression of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Strong scholarly work on the classical allusions in Moulin Rouge! has already been begun, especially in detailing the counterpoints in allegory between both character and plot. My contribution to this subject, however, takes the analysis to a more abstract level. I argue that Luhrmann wanted not only to combine plot and character in order to create a new story, but that he used the idea of love emerging from music as an aesthetic theory in itself, emblematic for the very creative process of his original, cinematic production. This aesthetic philosophy and method creates a creative framework for the theme of rebirth in this ancient myth. I believe that Luhrmann was contemplating the Dionysiac ritual of sparagmos, central to the theory of drama and musical drama, as a working aesthetic for this film. This presentation will focus on musical composition of the film (rather than the static visual hybrids or the cinematic editing techniques), and in particular on duets sung between the Orpheus character Christian and the Eurydice character Satine.

Packet 19. Jane Avril Poster and Coloring Page
Jane Avril By Toulouse-Lautrec [Cover this area before printing. Page is designed for creating a two-sided copy for the previous coloring page. Coloring pages are designed for kids to share the information at home that was discussed in the Art Discovery presentation, and are NOT FOR USE AS THE ART DISCOVERY PROJECT!] Jane Avril By Henri Toulouse Lautrec (tuh LOOZ luh TREK) 1893 In Paris during the 1880’s and 1890’s, long before rock concerts, CDs, I-pods, even radios or television, people went to music halls or cabarets (cab arrays) for entertainment. Most of these places used large, brightly colored posters to advertise the performers. The posters were hung on outside city walls all over Paris. They were called “the art of the streets”. More than a hundred years later, the shows these posters advertised have been forgotten, but some of the original posters still exist. The originals are very costly for modern poster collectors. These 19th century posters are still so popular that many copies are printed, framed and sold today. Henri Toulouse Lautrec loved the nightlife in Montmartre. This was an area located on a hill in the north of Paris, which at one time was just outside the city limits and dotted with grain mills. The area developed into a nightclub district and, because rent was cheap here, it was also an area where many struggling young artists of the 19th century could afford housing or art studios. Two of the best-known cabarets or music halls in Montmartre were “Le Chat Noir” (the Black Cat) and “Moulin Rouge” (the Red Mill).

From jazz cellar to comic theatre, garage beat to go-go dancer, world-class art gallery to avant-garde artist squat, this is the capital of savoir- vivre, with spectacular entertainment to suit every budget, every taste. The French capital holds a firm place on the touring circuit of the world’s finest artists and boasts dozens of historic and/or legendary concert venues: seeing a performance here is a treat. French and international opera, ballet and theatre companies (not to mention cabaret’s incor- rigible cancan dancers) take to the stage in a clutch of venues of mythical proportion – the Palais Garnier, Comédie Française and the Moulin Rouge included. Away from the bright lights and media glare, a flurry of young, passionate, highly creative musicians, theatre aficionados and artists make the city’s fascinating fringe art scene what it is. The film-lover’s ultimate city, Paris provides the best seat in the house to catch new flicks, avant- garde cinema and priceless classics. Its inhabitants are film fetishists par excellence, with wonderful NIGHTLIFE & THE ARTS NIGHTLIFE & THE ARTS movie theatres – 1930s Chinese pagoda to Seine-side cutting-edge shoebox – to prove it.

Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa or simply Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French: [ɑ̃ʁi də tuluz lo Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec ˈtʁɛk]; 24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 1800s yielded a collection of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times. Toulouse-Lautrec – along with Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin – is among the most well-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period. In a 2005 auction at Christie's auction house, a new record was set when La blanchisseuse, an early painting of a young laundress, sold for US$22.4 million.[1] Contents 1 Early life 2 Disability and health problems 3 Paris 4 London Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 5 Alcoholism Birth Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse- 6 Death name Lautrec-Monfa 7 Art 8 Selected works Born 24 November 1864 8.1 Paintings Albi, Tarn, France 8.2 Posters Died 9 September 1901 (aged 36) 8.3 Photos Château Malromé, France 8.4 Signature Nationality French 9 In popular culture Field Painter, printmaker, draftsman, 10 References illustrator 11 Further reading 12 External links Movement Post-Impressionism, Art Nouveau Early life Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa was born at the chateau du Bosc in Albi, Tarn in the Midi- Pyrénées région of France, the ﬁrstborn child of Comte Alphonse de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa and Adèle Tapié de Celeyran. He was therefore a member of an aristocratic family (descendants of the Counts of Toulouse and Lautrec and the Viscounts of Montfa, a village and commune of the Tarn department of southern France).

Mamie Cox Depictions of Power: Henri De Toulouse Lautrec and The
Cox 1 Mamie Cox Depictions of Power: Henri de Toulouse Lautrec and the Montmartre Performer Independent Study: Henri de Toulouse Lautrec and Montmartre 10 May 2013 Cox 2 Renowned draftsman, printmaker, and painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is made most famous by his depictions of performers. Female dancers, sex workers, and circus performers dominate many of his most well-known works. With their stereotypically low social class, sexualized performances, bare outfits, and attention gained from members of the opposite sex, it is sometimes easy to place female performers such these in the role of a powerless victim of commodification. Lautrec, however, through his dynamic depictions of these sexualized performances, subverts this notion and instead depicts these women as celebrities in power of their situation and surroundings. Throughout his tragically short but prolific artistic life, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was fascinated with the art of dance. Born with an unknown genetic defect traditionally attributed to inbreeding, Lautrec suffered from weak bone strength, stunted growth, and extreme difficult mobility his entire life. Despite this disability, Lautrec always found himself drawn to the art of movement. First, of the horses at his aristocratic family’s country estate and then of the performers that populated the Opera, café-concerts, dance halls, and circuses of Paris. 1 In early adulthood, Lautrec found himself drawn to the bohemian world of the emerging Montmartre, Paris. Set upon a hill, and removed from the city center, Montmartre had an identity separate from that of the more conservative central Paris.2 Montmartre’s dance halls, cabarets, café-concerts, brothels, and circuses created a racy, uncensored atmosphere that attracted working-class residents of the district, as well as thrill-seeking bourgeois patrons from central Paris and beyond.

What Would Paris Be Without Its Symbolic Eiffel Tower?
1. Eiffel tower ::::::::: What would Paris be without its symbolic Eiffel Tower? Built by Gustave Eiffel to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution, it is presented at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889. 324 meters high, it is one of the most visited monuments in the world with nearly 7 million visitors a year. The ascent of the Eiffel Tower is a must to enjoy the magnificent view of Paris. Tickets booths are located at the foot of the tower; you can go up via one of the two elevators, but after standing in line several hours, especially in summer. For the more adventurous one, it is possible to use the stairs and climb the steps (1,665 to the summit). The first floor houses the Eiffel Tower 58 which extends over two levels, 58 meters above the ground as its name suggests. On the second floor, the view is the best at 115 meters because you have a diving view on the ground below. Finally on the 3rd floor at 275 meters, you can see what the office of Gustave Eiffel was. For an adult, it is about 8.50 € to access the second floor, 14 € for the summit ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 - Notre Dame:::: Notre Dame cathedral One of the most enduring symbols of Paris: Notre-Dame de Paris, also known as Notre Dame, a Roman Catholic cathedral is located on the eastern half of the Ile de la Cité. It is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in France and Europe. Begun in 1163 and completed in 1345, this cathedral is a sight with its portals surrounded by his many sculptures and gargoyles that adorn the roof.
