Framed Cabaret Art

Cabaret is a much unduly disliked performance act. The secrecy and the adult themes of this notorious performing art obviously make it a tense subject for some- but remove all that, and it becomes purely a show, meant to entertain. Due to its exotic nature many framed cabaret art have propped up between the paintings of many artists.

The framed cabaret posters of yonder years give us an idea about its infamous image. In France, especially, the Folies Bergeres and the Moulin Rouge were famous for their acts. Jules Cheret had done a spectacular job in advertising the workings of the place. His clean, colorful drawings probably attracted more customers than the rumors of the place. It is, also, in a way, a tribute to all the girls and women who worked tirelessly to earn a living, when normal women were not encouraged to work, or be paid for their jobs at all. Some of his famous pieces include “La Loie Fuller”, “Pantomimes Lumineuses” and “L'Arc en Ciel”.
