Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Painter and Printmaker of the Parisian Demi-Monde
Monday, March 10
7:00pm - 8:00pm
Janet Mandel, art historian, will present a virtual lecture on the post-Impressionist artist, Toulouse-Lautrec. Free program. Registration required for Zoom link.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a post-Impressionist painter, printmaker, and illustrator who immersed himself in the colorful and sometimes decadent world of Paris’s circuses, theaters, cabarets, and brothels. Because he was an aristocrat born with a rare physical condition, he was more accepted by this cohort of outsiders than by the society of his peers. He recorded his experiences in enticing, elegant, and provocative images, which we will explore as we learn about his brief, extraordinary life.
