 | | 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. |
 | | Along with van Gogh, Lautrec is perhaps the most memorable artistic character since Rembrandt, a status recognized years ago by novelists and the film industry. |
 | | 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. |
