In 1886 Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec established a studio in Montmartre, where the bohemian lifestyle was exactly suited to his personal temperament and his artistic needs. Coming into artistic maturity as the colored lithographic print was gaining credence and as posters were transforming the whole of Paris into an out-of-doors art exhibition, Lautrec regarded these more democratic art forms as seriously as he did his painting.
The posters and prints illustrated and discussed here offer a quintessential view of fin-de-si`ecle Montmartre at its height. In these works, Lautrecís own energies are revealed at their peak. As much as these prints and posters capture the spirit of Montmartre, they also describe Lautrec. Brilliant, witty, and acerbic, they mirror the man as well as the place
