| | Toulouse-Lautrec: Biographies - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec |
 | | de Toulouse-Lautrec was a member of the aristocratic family of Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa, and the only surviving son of the Comte Alphonse de Toulouse-Lautrec. |
 | | Lautrec was the archetypal bohemian artist of the belle époque, the last decade of the nineteenth century, when Paris flaunted its song, dance, sports, and fashion. |
 | | For all his rebelliousness, however, Lautrec was a serious and industrious artist, producing an enormous body of work: his well-known posters of cabaret stars, vignettes of life in the brothels, brilliant portraits of his friends, and paintings of the theater, circus, and music hall. |
