Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec[Rhetorical Situation]


What does Mr.Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec want people to think,do,or feel about this particular painting?Maybe he wants everyone to begin kissing because this man and woman are.Maybe he wants onlookers to feel a sense of intimacy while staring at this portrait.With this panting I think Toulouse-Lautrec wanted to reach every human being.Every has shared or will share a kiss with someone in their lifetime.The individuals in the painting seem to be sharing a very passionate kiss and the portrait is very alluring.Young children kiss family members and even each other.Also,teenagers and adults kiss mates.The world is the audience of this painting.The audience could also be people who are sexually involved.The couple are on a bed and this kiss could lead things elsewhere.This genre is a portrait.The design elements that this portrait has are bright and vibrant colors.The red and orange colors cause you to focus on the portrait and it lures you into the kiss.Toulouse-Lautrec is passion.Red is a powerful color and it symbolizes heat.There is heat going on in this picture because the kiss looks very hot.I believe that any other viewer of this portrait would agree with me and receive the stance of this picture the same way I have.The medium and design is a portrait.There were powerful colors used in this painting and the effect of the painting is also powerful.
Throughout Toulouse-Latrec’s career he has created created 737 canvases,363 posters and prints,5,084 drawings,and 275 watercolors.He was a master at crowd scenes and the treatment of his subject matter has been characterized as dispassionate and sympathetic.
