OPIS:
Master of Montmartre A world of music dance and the Moulin Rouge In our imaginings of Paris painter and graphic artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864--1901 has no small role to play. In his prints posters paintings and drawings the artist immortalized the citys Belle Epoque nightlife and put the northern neighborhood of Montmartre on the global map of creative-hedonist hotspots. The son of old French nobility Toulouse-Lautrec seems to have been drawn early on to visions of a demimonde centering his attention on the dance halls cabarets and brothels of Montmartre and adopting famed dancers and singers as his subjects most notably Jane Avril. His works include both lively performance scenes and quiet tender after-hours portraits such as The Sofa and In Bed. Stylistically he mastered both bold graphics as celebrated in his promotional posters of Jane Avril and a loose yet evocative sketchwork. Though he died aged just 36 due to complications from alcoholism and syphilis Toulouse-Lautrecs cultural influence was immense. This introductory book takes a walk through his world of singers dancers musicians and prostitutes to reveal an artist of great humanity striking figurative skill and a pronounced sense for the energy and stories of a city.
