Toulouse-Lautrec has a very recognizable style; his works have a rapid fluidity and spontaneity to them. His works are inspired by other artists such as Jules Cheret and Japanese woodblock artists. Cheret's influence can be seen in the lithographic medium that Toulouse-Lautrec ultimately decided to work in for posters (though he still drew and painted). The influence of the Japanese woodblock artists can be found in Toulouse-Lautrec's wide flat areas of color and the reduction of extraneous detail from the subjects of his posters.
