Julie London recorded over thirty albums of jazz standards and popular music including the classic 'Cry Me a River.' I chose to paint her as I thought Lautrec would have seen her. Lautrec painted the then stars of the stage and theatre and I have used his portrayal of Jane Avril as the influence for my painting. Jane Avril was a popular dancer at the Moulin Rouge and Lautrec's poster of her has been a popular image long afterwards. Avril was famed for her eccentric and sometimes erotic dancing style and I see some correlation with Julie London's sex appeal and stardom.
