Tributing the birth of the expressionnism movement the Bonnard Museum exhibits on three levels the Toulouse - Lautrec prosters production. Pierre Bonnard and Henri de Toulouse - Lautrec becomes to be friends during meetings at the famous vanguard review "the White Review". Many think that Bonnard has created modern poster and speak about the advertising campaign "France Champagne" (1891) who has also bluffed Lautrec but few know that he involves himself a lot including in colors making for doing something better than Bonnard like the famous "Moulin Rouge, la Goulue" (1891). It isn't easy to say how Bonnard has influenced Lautrec because no evidences exist about but their ways of living can help us. Bonnard loves having fun but Lautrec prefers a more dissoluted life towards the backgounds he frequents until the end of the night. "Toulouse - Lautrec, hedlining" highlights so "the clown woman Cha - U - Kao" painting as a cluedo. All the Lautrec works deal with the women of the night like goddesses. Without any name except Cha - U - Kao she performs on the Moulin Rouge stage using together humor and contortionnism. With a friendly watch Lautrec immortilizes her in a painting made in 1895 where the yellow color leads. In an intimy place her room may be she stays on bed half nude waiting for someone like the man reflected in a mirror on the left.
