Big City Nightlife The most famous dance hall and cabaret in Paris was the Moulin Rouge. There La Goulue (“the Glutton”), portrayed on this poster, performed her provocative version of the cancan and reigned as the queen of Parisian sensuality. This is one of many colorful posters done by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901), who combined stupendous creativity and dedicated debauchery in his short life.
