1890, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec A recently discovered penciled inscription, in the artist's hand, on the back of this famous painting reads: "The instruction of the new ones by Valentine the Boneless." Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was thus not depicting an ordinary evening at the Moulin Rouge, the fashionable Parisian nightclub but rather a specific moment when a man now known only by his nickname (which certainly describes his nimbleness as a dancer) appears to be teaching the "can-can." Many of the inhabitants of the scene are well-known members of Lautrec's demimonde of prostitutes and artists and people seen only at night including the white-bearded Irish poet William Butler Yeats who leans on the bar. One of the mysteries, however, is the dominant woman in the foreground, the beauty of her profile made all the more so in comparison with that of her chinless companion.

Fissare sulla tela l’istante in cui il Sogno e la Realtà si compenetrano altalenandosi, sembra essere la priorità attuale per Claudia Giraudo, artista nata nel 1974 a Torino, luogo in cui tuttora risiede e collabora attivamente con l’atelier Bottega Indaco. Il diploma ottenuto nel 2001 presso l’Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino, avvia una ricerca intimista che si concentra sul volto come tramite di un messaggio. Coinvolgendo in parte il vissuto personale, ma caricandolo di un messaggio da decriptare, è come se l’artista parlasse una lingua sconosciuta che lo spettatore deve tradurre alla luce delle proprie personali esperienze e conoscenze. Attraverso i suoi simboli, la Giraudo poggia delicatamente sulla tela soggetti che, resi messaggeri, ci appaiono eterei, evanescenti, attori, spiriti dell’aria, ed in aria si son tutti dissolti, in un’aria sottile ed impalpabile.
