This volume shows fifty of the best-known works of Toulouse-Lautrec, world-famous for his scenes of Parisian life at the end of the 19th centry.

A bareback rider's skirt ripples in the breeze, an acrobat bends his muscular limbs into a handstand, and a poodle obeys a clown brandishing a whip. The circus is in town! These kaleidoscopic visions from under the big top offer audiences a series of post-Impressionistic sideshows, courtesy of thirty-nine brilliant crayon drawings in the distinctive style of Toulouse-Lautrec.These scenes took place far from the artist's customary haunts, the bars and cafes of Montmartre. While Toulouse-Lautrec was at the height of his artistic powers, he was compelled to undergo treatment for alcoholism at a country clinic. Seeking relief from his forced confinement, he sketched vignettes from a local circus troupe's rehearsals. His sensitive interpretations of the scenes reflect the cruelty behind the performers' exotic feats, as well as his self-image as an entertainer, an outsider, and a captive.Although these drawings are masterpieces of composition and movement, the artist gave them away. The originals were scattered across Europe and America for decades, until an intrepid collector tracked them down. These reproductions are the work of a noted lithographer, Fernand Mourlot, whose skill recaptures the color and spirit of Toulouse-Lautrec's works.

Une biographie où les fredaines et la vie tumultueuse du personnage prennent le pas sur son génie. Graphisme acceptable.

Das gesamte graphische Werk von Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec entstand am Ende eines ebenso kurzen wie intensiven Lebens. Innerhalb nur eines Jahrzehnts schuf der aus dem französischen Hochadel stammende Künstler, fasziniert von den Möglichkeiten einer damals neuen Technik, 351 meist farbige Steindrucke. Seine von japanischen Holzschnitten inspirierten Farblithographien wurden mit ihren starken Kontrasten und der Verbindung von Schrift und Bild stilistisch zum Ausgangspunkt der modernen Plakatkunst. Der seit einem Unfall kleinwüchsige Aristokrat verbrachte seine Zeit vorwiegend in den Cafés, Cabarets und Bordellen rund um den Montmartre und schilderte diese Umgebung ohne Überheblichkeit oder falsches Mitleid. Mit seinen ungeschminkten Szenen des mondänen Pariser Nachtlebens prägte Lautrec ganz entschieden das Bild einer legendären Zeit, der so genannten „Belle Epoque". Die berühmte Sammlung des Berliners Otto Gerstenberg, der vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg dieses ganz außergewöhnliche Œuvre Toulouse-Lautrecs lückenlos vereinte, umfasst neben Widmungsexemplaren auch Vorzugs-, Zustands- und Probedrucke. Zusätzlich abgerundet wird diese von Götz Adriani zusammengestellte Präsentation des kompletten graphischen Werks mit Gemälden, Pastellen und Skizzen des Künstlers.
