Artist: Henri de-Toulouse LautrecTitle: Divan JaponaisMedium: Poster - advertisingImage size: 36" x 24"Date: 1981 * Condition: Very good; very minor creasing to upper right margin that can be matted outBiography * Toulouse-Lautrec depicted the world of Paris * nightlife in a style that transcended categorization. Influenced * by the impressionists (particularly Degas), he exhibited with * them at the 1889 Salon des Independants. His technical skills, * evident early in his career, enabled him to create a sense of * motion and atmosphere with a minimum of brushstrokes . Lautrec * studied art in Paris and in 1885 opened his own studio in Montmartre, * where the brothels and dance halls greatly inspired his work. * He began producing posters in 1891 with immediate success; the * first one was commissioned by the Moulin Rouge cabaret. * Toulouse-Lautrec's skilled depiction of people relied on his painterly * style which is highly linear and gives great emphasis to contour. He * often applied the paint in long, thin brushstrokes which would often * leave much of the board on which they are painted showing through. * Many of his works may best be described as drawings in coloured paint. * *Retrieved from: http://www.rogallery.com/lautrec_henri_toulouse/lautrec-bio.html * *
