"The Red Mill: A Captivating Tale of Art, Antisemitism, and Cabaret in Paris" In the vibrant streets of Montmartre, Paris in 1898, a dark cloud of antisemitism loomed over the city. The infamous Dreyfus case had ignited tensions within society, leading to a disturbing manifestation at the heart of it all - an effigy of Martin Dreyfus burned in the square with a chilling sign around his neck proclaiming "Dreyfus has the gallows. " This shocking event would later inspire an intriguing painting known as "The Red Mill" by an unknown artist. Fast forward to c. 1916 when "The Red Mill" came to life on canvas. With bold strokes and vivid colors, this masterpiece captured the essence of Montmartre's iconic Moulin Rouge ball. Jules Cheret's enchanting poster for this extravagant event from late 19th century served as inspiration for this captivating artwork. Henri de Toulouse Lautrec's influence also seeped into "The Red Mill, " as seen through his renowned posters for both Moulin Rouge and La Goulue. The cabaret scene thrived during that era, attracting artists like Cha U Kao who mesmerized audiences with their performances at Nouveau Cirque and Moulin Rouge. Amidst all the laughter and satire that filled these establishments, one cannot ignore the underlying social commentary embedded within each stroke of paint. In Henri de Toulouse Lautrec's lithography titled "English at the Moulin Rouge, " he depicted a diverse crowd coming together under one roof - a testament to unity amidst diversity. "The Red Mill" tells us stories beyond its mere depiction; it unveils glimpses into history while immersing us in an atmosphere where art transcends boundaries.
