Taschen Toulouse-Lautrec

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 Époque nightlife and put the northern neighbourhood of Montmartre on the global map of creative-hedonist hotspots. This introductory book takes a walk through his world of singers, dancers, and musicians to reveal an artist of great humanity, striking figurative skill, and a pronounced sense for the energy and stories of a city.
