Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec
1864-1901
French painter and printmaker. He is best known for his portrayals of late 19th-century Parisian life, particularly working-class, cabaret, circus, nightclub and brothel scenes. He was admired then as he is today for his unsentimental evocations of personalities and social mores. While he belonged to no theoretical school, he is sometimes classified as Post-Impressionist. His greatest contemporary impact was his series of 30 posters (1891-1901), Related Paintings of Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec :. | The Clowness Cha-U-Kao (mk09) | Die Bar | Portrait of Vincent van Gogh | The Divan | Alone | Related Artists: Giovanni Ricco1817-1873
