Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec "Homage to Van Gogh" Lithograph printed by the Mourlot Brothers in 1952 size 32x35 cm signature on the master's plate, very rare and wonderful The work is a portrait of his Dutch friend Van Gogh that Toulouse Lautrec created in 1887 and which is now preserved at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The extraordinary work is a small pastel on paper, which depicts the painter sitting in a café, absorbed in his thoughts, sipping from a flute placed in front of him on the shelf, certainly absinthe (recognisable by the delicate and almost imperceptible green shade), a very popular drink at the time, especially among creative people, also known as "green fairy” and which Van Gogh also often used, as is well known. As the painter recalls, in fact, Paul Signac, he used to go to the bar at the end of the day, also because cafés, at the time, were places where artists and intellectuals could meet and discuss ideas, and therefore were regular destinations. The work manages to bring out, with great emotional charge, the artist's inner feelings. We don't see the gaze directly, but we can sense it. In fact, Toulouse Lautrec, who was linked to Vincent by great artistic esteem and deep friendship, frees his lyricism by outlining the profile of his face. Everything becomes substantially more introspective. The slightly oblong line that usually characterizes the artist's paintings develops and evolves, here, in a more whirling, more "sharp", angular way, enlivening the work and materializing all the inner worries, the sense of oppression, contained within it. The color palette is essential, but wisely selected: green, intense blue, yellow with hints of orange, colors loved and used very often by Van Gogh himself. A masterpiece that deserves to be known and loved not only for its artistic value, but also for the content it holds and which, even today, appears more alive than ever before our eyes.
