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 city's 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-Lautrec's 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. About the series Born back in
1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art
book collection ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art
series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and
oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical
importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with
explanatory captions
