Bibliography
Wittrock
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (Albi 1864 - Malromé 1901) was the most irreverent visual chronicler of late 19th century Paris, inextricably linking his name to the nightlife of Montmartre. Raised in an aristocratic family, he settled in the quintessential bohemian neighborhood, drawn to an intense life that became the focus of his artistic exploration.
His revolution occurred on the lithographic stone. In 1891, he created his first poster, the famous Moulin Rouge, and from that moment on, color lithography became the language in which his vision found its most complete form. His compositions show a deep assimilation of the Japanese ukiyo-e prints that he collected and studied. He also used the crachis technique, spraying ink onto the plate to create diffuse and vibrant color atmospheres. In less than ten years, he produced almost 400 prints and 31 posters, erasing the boundary between art and mass communication. His famous color lithographs stand out for their extraordinary modernity, characterized by daring poses far from academicism, dynamic silhouettes, and bold framing influenced by Japanese prints. By depicting dancers, actors, and cabaret-goers in scenes of intoxication and pure joy, and advertising the most famous bohemian venues of the time, Lautrec transformed graphics into an immediate and powerful means of expression, capable of capturing the energy and decadence of the Belle Époque.
