Art of Henri deToulouse-Lautrec

Uploaded by bestjonbon on Nov 8, 2009
When you want a close look at colorful, sinful Parisian night life, you turn to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Born in Albi, in the Pyranees area of France, to an aristocratic family, Toulouse-Lautrec had congenital health problems, due probably to the fact that his high-born Comte and Comtesse parents were first cousins, not an unusual thing for aristocrats. He fractured his thighs when he was young, and his legs stopped growing, leaving him barely five feet tall when he reached adulthood. But his talent was giant. Unable to participate in many other activities, he threw himself into his art and became one of the great painters of the Post-Impressionist period. In all he created 737 canvasses, 275 watercolors, and several thousand drawings before his early death. He died at 36 from complications of alcoholism and syphilis. If you like what you see here, check out the companion video, "Posters of Henri de Toulouse Lautrec." It will demonstrate his mastery of lithography. Music is Gioachino Rossini's "Cindarella Overture."

Wonderful video! You did a great job, John! Henru has been real busy in his short life! I'll certainly look out for the posters collection!
