Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Hommage a la Beaute Poster
Artist: Henri de-Toulouse * LautrecTitle: Hommage a la Beaute * Medium: Poster - * advertisingImage size: 24" x 20" * Date: * 1977Publisher: Merrill Chase Gallery * Condition: ExcellentBiography * Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) * 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 * *
