Toulouse-Lautrec
Fine Art
Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec was born in Albi, France in 1864. He reached adulthood with the body trunk of normal size but with abnormally short legs, which deprived him of leading a normal life, so he lived wholly for his art. He stayed in the Monmartre section of Paris, the center of the cabaret entertainment and bohemian life that he loved to paint. Circuses, dance halls and nightclubs, racetracks, all these spectacles were set down on canvas or made into lithographs. He died in 1901 at the family chateau of Malrome. Since then his paintings and posters, particularly the Moulin Rouge group, have been in great demand and bring high prices at auctions and art sales.
