Paris in Print

Step into the vibrant nightlife of Belle Époque Paris through the posters of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. In ikonoTV’s silent, slow-moving tribute, bold lines and vivid colors drift across the screen, capturing dancers, cabarets, and the fleeting magic of performance. Each frame lingers on expressive gestures and swirling skirts, echoing Lautrec’s eye for the human spirit behind the spectacle. This is not just a visual journey, it’s an immersion in a world of glamour, melancholy, and movement frozen in time. This work can be seen at [The Metropolitan Museum of Art,https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/333990]
