Author: Anderberg, Birgitte ; Vibeke Vibolt Knudsen
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9783791351445
Description: New York-Munich: Prestel, 2011. 30cm., hardcover, 176pp., 150 color illus. English text. Exhibition held at Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen. Summary: Best-known for his depictions of young women performing the can-can, Toulouse-Lautrec was a shrewd observer of contemporary French life. Focusing on his prints, this generously illustrated book offers a thematic re-consideration of the artist’s oeuvre. In sections such as “The Human Comedy,” “Actors of the Scene,” “The Metropolis,” and “Circus,” the book highlights Toulouse-Lautrec’s keenly perceptive gaze as he explored a variety of settings—circuses, brothels, cafés, and dancehalls—and subjects of both genders and all classes in his work. A radical in his own radical time, Toulouse-Lautrec emerges as a consummate bohemian artist who depicted his contemporaries’ appetite for visual and sensual pleasure.
