Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's Work

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's work is amazing.  It's is so beautiful and radiant.  I was looking at the painting named "The First Kiss" and I instantly started analyzing it.  It has so much emotion and color to it. First off, I believe that the audience to this picture is more toward mature and older people, not so much for children because of how much affection is displayed and it seems as if they are about to have sex.  More mature people would be drawn to this picture.  But not only mature people, but gays and lesbians.  It is what they are in to.  The genre is a painting.  It has no words so you have to infer everything.  This has a very different stance and attitude like seductive and sensual while still staying in a classy moment.  Nothing is exposed, but you can just sense the sex, to put it in better terms.  The two girls seem so involved in each other and seem to be in a very private place.  The design is printed, but it is meant to be spoken about.  It is a conversation piece.  It is meant to bring small talk about what it means, how beautiful it is, etc.  Overall, I think that the purpose of this is to catch people's eye and to show that sensations can come through the same sex.  The painting's meaning is very different compared to most paintings.  It is about lesbians and how they share such a sensual moment in their bedroom where they can have their own moment together.  Toulouse- Lautrec was very good at portraying body language.  Obviously, these people don't tell each other their love.  They embrace each other and have such a powerful and meaningful embrace.  I think this also means to understand lesbians and to embrace and understand them.  This man was such a good painter and had so much meaning behind it.  This is what I call and awesome artist.
