Henri de Toulouse Lautrec

Henri de Toulouse Lautrec (Novermber 24, 1864 - September 9, 1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator, whose immersion in the decadent and theatrical life of fin de siecle yielded an oeuvre of provocative images of modern life. (see wiki)

At the Moulin Rouge


The Kiss
The Toilette


Van Gogh's portrait


Rosa La Rouge - À Montrouge

The Moulin Rouge series - et autres



Best known for his paintings of the Moulin Rouge and the hedonistic Parisian city life, Lautrec was one of the most exciting painters of his era. His contemporaries were Degas, Van Gogh, Renoir, Cezanne, Gaugin and Seurat. I've selected a motley set of his paintings, not in any order of their creation or phase or anything like that. Just stuff I like. To see more of his paintings and posters, click here and here.

quite, no? I wish I could plaster the entire blog with ALL his works - but oh well - overdose.
