This book offers a beautiful exploration of Henri de
Toulouse-Lautrec's works in lithography. It explores the new
artistic approach to the poster at the end of the 19th century,
which bridged visual and popular culture and turned the
relationship between `high' and `low' art on its head. Technical
innovations in lithography pioneered by Lautrec and other artists
produced larger sizes, more varied colours and new effects and
launched the role of the poster as a powerful tool for
communication and marketing in fin de siecle Paris. Lautrec's
embrace of celebrity helped to define the famous hotspots
(theatres, cabarets and cafe-concerts) of fin de siecle Paris and
made their stars recognisable figures across the whole city. Works
by contemporaries such as Pierre Bonnard, Theophile Alexandre
Steinlen and Jules Cheret also feature, and Lautrec's influence on
British, and particularly Scottish, artists of the period will be
explored. These include Walter Richard Sickert, Arthur Melville,
John Duncan Fergusson and William Nicholson.
