Born to an aristocratic family, by the time Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was 20 he focused his sights specifically on Montmartre, and the can-can dancer Jane Avril embodied the freedom and decadence inherent to the locale. This portrait—the first of its kind to enter LACMA’s collection— is on view in “50 for 50.” [Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Jane Avril: Profile of a Woman, 1893, Loan and promised gift of The A.
