Buying tickets to the Savoy Ballroom, 1938. Twenty-five cents was equal to around $6 in those days.

🌟 1950s Dance Hall Neon & Retro Fashion

A current of excitement pulses through every detail - skirt hems, shining neon, and steps toward a saturday night dance. Retro energy and 1950s fashion fill the night with unforgettable style. (AI-generated) The rhythm of rockabilly and the promise of joyful connection.

Moulin de la Galette

Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901)

Date: 1889

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

With this painting of the dance hall known as the Moulin de la Galette, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec established his reputation as the chronicler of the Montmartre district’s famed nightlife. A wooden barrier bisects the composition, dividing the frenzied action of the dance floor in the background from the stillness of the women waiting in the foreground. Toulouse-Lautrec used turpentine to thin his paint and applied it in loose washes, a technique known as peinture à l’essence. The result is a sketchy style that conveys both the immediacy of the artist’s observations and the tawdry atmosphere of his subject.
