The Origins of an Icon

These famous posters are of Aristide Bruant a French cabaret singer, comedian, and nightclub owner.
He is best known as the man in the red scarf and black cape featured on certain famous posters by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
He has also been credited as the creator of the chanson réaliste musical genre.
Taken at a current Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition at the San Diego Museum of Art.

Also an experiment of shooting at 6400ISO and dodging the many visitors to the exhibition.

Yes, I have seen copies of the posters - how good to go there to see the real exhibition

A grand perspective with that lemon meringue pie yellow...and that 6400 didn't hurt a bit.
Thanks for the interesting info as well Walter. V

Very nice museum shot and impressive iso performance.
I can remember seeing this exhibit in Washington D.C. several years ago.
