White Night
1893
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures the gritty essence of a sleepless night in this striking 1893 lithograph. A bearded man sits huddled in heavy shadow, staring out a window at a crescent moon and a skyline of industrial smokestacks. The rough, sketchy lines perfectly convey the restless energy of an insomniac watching the city churn while the rest of the world dreams. It's a rare, quiet moment from an artist usually famous for loud cabarets and can-can dancers.
