If we know Toulouse-Lautrec for its posters, symbol of the culture of Montmartre, we know less that he was one of the most audacious painters of the late nineteenth century. Breaking with academism, caustic and incisive, sometimes eccentric, he explores the world of cabarets, circus, shows, brothels, marginalized people, with a sharp and lively eye. And he succeeds more than anyone else in translating the world and bodies - especially women's - with a unique strength and intensity.
This beautiful and abundantly illustrated book illuminates an atypical journey and offers a new perspective on a deeply original work that, from dance to intimacy and feminine love, claims a resolutely modern freedom. A benevolent commentator on modern life, Toulouse-Lautrec takes a tender, complicit but uncompromising look at those whom art history has looked so little at.
