And man could she dance! Back in the 70s she did a show from the Moulin Rouge in Paris where she danced, spoke and sang her way across the stage introducing 6 foot female dancers around her, towering over her. I watched it with my mother and we were both enthralled.
My fav movies: Steel Magnolias, WhatAWayToGo!, Can-Can, Irma la Douce.https://insidefame.com/article/shirley-maclaine-turns-malibu-lunch-into-her-most-enduring

Impossible d'évoquer le cancan sans parler du film de Renoir : "French Cancan" sort sur les écrans en 1954 pour raconter l'aventure du Moulin Rouge ! Un chef d'oeuvre intemporel !

"Le Chahut," Georges Seurat, 1889/90.
I've said it before, I'll say it again...I'm not a big fan of Seurat overall. His technique is dazzling, I'll admit. But his figures are stiff and often unconvincing. That being said...it works here, after a fashion.
"Le Chahut" means "the noise" or "the uproar" and is another name for what is commonly known as the can-can. While the pointillist technique works here in an artistic sense, the overall figures look fake, unless one regards this from a graphic-design viewpoint. I don't know if it was intended for that, but I see this and think, "Advertising art." Exquisite ad art, to be sure, but I can see it being used as a poster for a nightclub.
When Seurat tried to be naturalistic, as he did in his famous "Sunday" painting, I feel he falls a bit short, but here his artificial handling of figures works as graphic design.
From the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, the Netherlands.
