Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "The world of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was inhabited by denizens of the street and night life of fin-de-siecle Paris - with its dance halls, bars, brothels and circuses. Portraying this world in his paintings, drawings , posters and prints, Lautrec created a vibrant body of art that earned him lasting renown. Lautrec was born in 1864 into one of the oldest noble families in France. At the age of 13 it was discovered that he suffered from a genetic defect that prevented the bones in his legs from continuing to grow. Small in stature and singular in appearance, Lautrec lived his life with a passionate intensity, choosing to dwell among the Bohemian and exotic characters he depicted in his canvases. He died at the age of 37 after excessive drinking had severely debilitated and finally destroyed him. During his short career, however, he not only painted, drew, and designed posters, but also worked with stained glass and bookbindings. The essays in this book discuss the full range of Lautrec's career and artistic activities - from his youthful sketchbooks and examples of applied art to the seminal pictures and posters at the end of his life. The essays also focus on the cultural milieu and social history of the period, analyzing the marketplace in which Lautec worked, the implications of his exhibitions and his association with other artists, designers and literary figures." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Rethinking Toulouse-Lautrec, by Richard Thomson; Toulouse-Lautrec and artistic life: exhibitions 1883-1901; Anne Roquebert; Toulouse-Lautrec: the posthumous reputation, by Claire Freches-Thory; Style and technique, by Daniele Devynck; Catalogue: Early work; Portraits, by Anne Roquebert; Illustration, caricature and the type; Representing Montmartre, by Richard Thomson; Stars; Toulouse-Lautrec and the theatre; Applied arts, by Claire Freches-Thory; Images of the maisons closes, by Richard Thomson; Late work 1898-1901, by Anne Roquebert.
