Artist Bio

Henri de Toulouse‑Lautrec (1864–1901) was a French Post‑Impressionist painter, printmaker, and illustrator whose work defined the visual culture of Paris’s Belle Époque. Born into an aristocratic family in southern France, he settled in Montmartre, where he chronicled cabarets, performers, and nightlife through paintings and groundbreaking lithographic posters. Works such as Moulin Rouge: La Goulue and May Belfort elevated advertising to high art through bold composition, flattened color, and expressive line. Despite his short life, Toulouse‑Lautrec’s innovations in printmaking and graphic design continue to influence modern visual culture.
