Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

French, Albi 1864–1901 Saint-André-du-Bois

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a French artist associated with Post-Impressionism, is renowned for his vivid depictions of Parisian nightlife and his innovative lithographic techniques. This collection features 193 works spanning 1879 to 1901, including lithographs, crayon lithographs, and oil on cardboard, with subjects ranging from café-concert scenes to theatrical posters. Notable pieces such as 'Cover Design for Les Vieilles Histoires' and 'Yvette Guilbert' exemplify his mastery of capturing the energy of Montmartre. His contributions to printmaking and painting continue to offer insight into late 19th-century French culture.
