Courtauld Gallery - Exhibition 16th June to 18th September 2011
"Jane Avril was not only an emblematic figure in Toulouse-Lautrec’s world of artists, dancers, cabaret actors, musicians and courtesans, she was also one of his closest friends. This exhibition is the first to celebrate their important creative collaboration. It examines Avril as a private individual, looks at the staging of her public identity and reveals the range of Lautrec’s responses to his muse: Their remarkable creative partnership captured the excitement and spectacle of bohemian Paris." Am I looking forward to this? You better believe it! See you there - Craig

Corrections3/8/2011 I am aware that in her biography of Jane Avril's life Jose Shercliff changed the names of some of those acquainted with her. As to why she did this I am uncertain. Perhaps it was at the request of Jane herself or just that Jose felt it was right so to do.
In any event I am grateful to a french correspondent who has read, lets just say, the more critical account of her life by Francois Caradec who has corrected me on some of the names. They now appear corrected in my mini biography of Jane's life and I extend my thanks for his efforts in contributing to the accuracy of the contents on this website. Craig
