May Milton
Not on view
Similar elements and direct borrowings from Japanese actor prints appear in Toulouse-Lautrec's poster advertising a performance by May Milton, particularly the steep tilting and delineation of the floorboards, the deep-blue background punctuated by bold letterforms, and the simple, almost calligraphic brushstrokes used to define Milton's dress as she prances onstage.
