Ruby Tuesday Goes to the Museum

Firstly, a link to a correction I had to make about my last Ruby Tuesday post


And now touches of red that have nothing whatever to do with sheep! Oh, and you can visit and/or participate by visiting Mary at Work of the Poet for Ruby Tuesday

I took these photos at the exhibition Cafe and Cabaret at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, featuring posters, prints and paintings by Toulouse-Lautrec and Steinlen.

    I miss the MFA - I used to go there often. Love Toulouse-Latrec and all the posters of that era.

    The poster is wonderful, the age seen in its art, the lettering, the style. The cat appears to wear a halo, a whimsical take on the exposition. This would be beautiful print, something any visitor to your home would study with delight...

    Steinlein's name is Theophyle not Alexander.
