May Milton

May Milton was an English dancer who appeared at the Moulin Rouge, and Toulouse-Lautrec made this 1895 poster to advertise her tour of the United States. One of his boldest compositions, it shows his style of flat, simplified, brightly coloured shapes and dramatic silhouettes. Posters had grown popular after 1881, when restrictions on their placement were lifted, and they were soon accepted as a legitimate art form.
