Description

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec helped define the visual world of Paris’s Belle Époque through his paintings, lithographs, and celebrated posters of Montmartre’s performers and nightlife.

In Toulouse-Lautrec: A Life, Julia Frey draws on previously unpublished family letters and documents to explore the artist behind those familiar images. His aristocratic upbringing, physical disabilities, complicated family relationships, and immersion in bohemian Paris form a revealing account of his life and artistic development.

Illustrated with photographs and color plates, the biography connects Lautrec’s personal experiences with the dancers, cabaret singers, and other figures who populate his work. This is the 1994 first American edition, first printing, published by Viking.
