Café Riche / Tango (1914). Georges Redon (French, 1869-1943). Poster. Printer: Imp. Gaillac-Monrocq.

Founded in 1785, Café Riche was a luxury restaurant that played host to the likes of Flaubert, Baudelaire, Dumas, and Zola. Here—about two years before shuttering its doors—Redon announces a night of tango with "Jack and his dancer." The specific type of tango they're performing is the Brazilian maxixe, which was created by black slaves in Rio de Janeiro in 1868. When the tango made its way to Europe, Parisians were titillated by the exotic dance moves, and it became a popular part of cabaret culture.

J’aime l’idée que tu as de faire un roman sur "nous". En chantant l’amour saphique tu feras vibrer la joie dans tant d’êtres pervers et affamés de chimères, que le réel et l’homme ne sauraient assouvir. — Natalie Clifford Barney ( Correspondance amoureuse, posth., 2019) illustration : Affiche Casino de Paris : Féminissma, Liane de Pougy (Georges Redon, 1904)
