Toulouse-Lautrec recorded the style of this period so perfectly that our impression of late nineteenth-century Paris is populated with his dancers, actors, boulevardiers, prostitutes, and clowns. His lithographs, and especially his posters, made France and the world concious of his subjects and his art. Lautrec's posters, with their daring freedom of line, color, and compositon had an overwhelming influence on the artists of his time and since.
