Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? This is the query contemplated by At the Moolin Rouge, a colorful, vibrant light-hearted nod to Henri de Toulouse-Loutrec and the society he inhabited, documented and eventually succumbed to. When people see my cow, I hope they, like Toulouse-Loutrec, look for the riotous color and amazing, grotesque faces and forms that bombard them every day, and realize that life, indeed, does imitate art, explains artist John Fulton Adams, a fashion designer with Halls Department Store.
