Summary: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was an acute observer of Parisian life. This publication coincides with the exhibition Toulouse-Lautrec: Paris & the Moulin Rouge, the first major retrospective of the artist’s work in Australia. The catalogue highlights Toulouse- Lautrec’s skill as a painter and draughtsman, his experimentation in composition and the brilliance of his technical execution in all media. Here readers will experience a wide range of paintings and a selection of key drawings, posters and prints. Toulouse-Lautrec’s career is traced from his earliest works and his student days at the Atelier Cormon to his extraordinary depictions of the Paris social scene, the dance halls, the cafe-concert, the theatre and opera and the bordellos. He captures the essence of his Parisian characters and haunts in a perceptive and insightful way. Toulouse-Lautrec’s subject matter was to become thoroughly modern and he became an influential figure in the evolution of the art of the twentieth century. This publication will provide audiences with a more thorough understanding of the artist’s short but dazzling career.
