The extraordinary activity of Toulouse-Lautrec in the Bohemian
world of Paris marked an epoch and left an indelible trace
throughout the entire history of art and culture of the 20th
century. When Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec moved to Paris, he soon
became a real chronicler of Parisian life. He was a painter who
captured the exhilarating society of le demi-monde and its
establishments: racecourses, circus tents, theatres and opera
houses, cabarets and brothels that became his ateliers. In only ten
years, up to his death in 1901, he produced 368 prints and
litograph posters, which he considered of equal importance to his
paintings and drawings. When Toulouse-Lautrec started to experiment
with lithography, his contemporaries, well-known artists like
Alfons Mucha and Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen did so as well, and
they too succeeded in creating true masterpieces. During their
lifetimes, and because of their work, lithographs and posters were
elevated from the status of mere mass advertising media to an
accepted artistic genre. Text in English and Italian.
