Toulouse-Lautrec

An unconventional figure who established himself as Paris’ premier poster painter in the late 19th Century, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was renowned for his lively, impressionistic paintings of Paris’ burgeoning nightlife. Outcast from high society due to his stunted height, Toulouse-Lautrec sought refuge in his art—and the Paris underground. Possessing a theatrical, Noir-like aura that entices even the most passive of eyes, vintage Toulouse-Lautrec artwork pulls back the curtain on acrobats, songstresses, can-can dancers, and even prostitutes—candidly pushing them into the spotlight.
