1894 Aristide Beer Bruant Lautrec Sings Sous Cabaret Mirliton
EDITORS COMMENTS
Aristide Bruant, the legendary French singer and cabaret performer, is captured in this stunning 1894 print by the renowned artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The image, titled "Bruant au Mirliton, Paris, tous les soirs - et la bière coûte 13 sous," translates to "Bruant at the Mirliton, Paris, every evening - and the beer is only 13 sous." The Mirliton was a popular cabaret located in the Montmartre district of Paris, known for its bohemian atmosphere and affordable entertainment. Bruant, with his distinctive mustache and signature red fez, was a regular performer at the Mirliton, entertaining audiences night after night with his provocative songs and satirical wit. Lautrec's print captures the essence of the cabaret scene in Paris during the late 19th century. The dimly lit room is filled with the sounds of laughter and music, and the patrons, dressed in their finest attire, are fully immersed in the experience. Bruant, with a glass of beer in hand, looks directly at the viewer, inviting them to join in the festivities. The 13 sous price tag for a beer was a significant draw for the working-class patrons of the Mirliton, making it an affordable and accessible form of entertainment. The print's caption emphasizes this affordability, highlighting the value that Bruant and the Mirliton offered to the people of Paris. This print is a testament to the rich history of cabaret culture in Paris and the enduring legacy of both Bruant and Lautrec. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the arts and entertainment were accessible to all, regardless of social status or means.
