Henri De Toulouse Lautrec (Born Nov. 24, 1864, Albi, France — Died Sept. 9, 1901, Malromé) French Painter And Graphic Artist. Born To An Old Aristocratic Family, He Developed His Interest In Art During Lengthy Convalescence After Both His Legs Were Fractured In Separate Accidents (1878, 1879) That Left Them Permanently Stunted And Made Walking Difficult. In 1881 He Resolved To Become An Artist; After Taking Instruction, He Established A Studio In The Montmartre District Of Paris In 1884 And Began His Lifelong Association With The Area's Cafés, Cabarets, Entertainers, And Artists. He Captured The Effect Of The Movement Of Dancers, Circus Performers, And Other Entertainers By Simplifying Outlines And Juxtaposing Intense Colours; The Result Was An Art Throbbing With Life And Energy. His Lithographs Were Among His Most Powerful Works, And His Memorable Posters Helped Define The Possibilities Of The Genre. His Pieces Are Often Sharply Satirical, But He Was Also Capable Of Great Sympathy, Seen Most Poignantly In His Studies Of Prostitutes (E.G., At The Salon, 1896). His Extraordinary Style Helped Set The Course Of Avant—Garde Art For Decades To Come. A Heavy Drinker, He Died At 36. We Very Much Appreciate Your Interest In This Piece.
