Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de,1864-1901,artist.
Letze, Otto,editor.
Museo d'arte provincia di Nuoro,host institution.
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 which became his ateliers. In only ten years, up to his death in 1901, he produced 368 prints and lithograph 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 or Théophile-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. Exhibition: MAN, Nuoro, Italy (22.06-21.10.2018).
