Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec on the WWW






 
Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de (1864-1901), French post-impressionist painter, lithographer, and illustrator who depicted the nightlife of late 19th-century Paris. Toulouse-Lautrec was born in Albi on November 24, 1864, a descendant of one of the most aristocratic French families. He broke both legs as an adolescent, and because of a congenital calcium deficiency, they remained stunted for the rest of his life. During his convalescence, his mother encouraged him to paint. Toulouse-Lautrec frequented the colorful cabarets, such as the Moulin Rouge, in the Montmartre district of Paris, where his wit attracted a large group of artists and intellectuals, including the Irish author Oscar Wilde and the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. His alcoholic dissipation, however, eventually brought on a paralytic stroke, to which he succumbed at Malromé, one of his family's estates, on September 9, 1901.
