Princeton University Press. Very Good. Hardback. 2005. Childhood illness and injuries steered Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) away from customary rural aristocratic avocations and toward a profession as an artist. He became a painter, draftsman , and lithographer whose work was immersed in famously hedonistic , fin-de-siecle Paris. In his hands, advertising posters were rai sed to a high art; he portrayed the nightlife of Montmartre-circu ses, cafes, dance halls, and brothels-with clear, bold color and a certain seamy panache that is instantly recognizable as his. Hi s much mythologized life has found its way into many biographies and into two feature-length movies called Moulin Rouge. Lavishly illustrated with 370 color plates, Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartr e is the first major work to present the artist's oeuvre in the c ontext of Montmartre's lively art scene from roughly 1885 to 1901 . Accompanying an exhibition of the same name at the National Gal lery of Art and The Art Institute of Chicago, the book features t he important paintings, drawings, prints, and posters Toulouse-La utrec made on Montmartre subjects. It also includes masterpieces by contemporaries he inspired or who inspired him-Degas, Van Gogh , Picasso, and others-as well as rarely seen illustrations, litho graphs, photographs, and ephemera of the era. And it discusses th e artists, writers, actors, singers, and dancers who formed Toulo use-Lautrec's circle. The book's gracefully written essays by Ric hard Thomson, Phillip Dennis Cate, and Mary Weaver Chapin, with F lorence E. Coman, address these themes in light of the rise of th e color poster, the proliferation of new forms of entertainment, and the emergence of a celebrity-oriented popular culture. Toulou se-Lautrec and Montmartre evokes a colorful, chaotic era, and add s a new dimension to our understanding of the art of Toulouse-Lau trec. ., Princeton University Press, 2005, 3<
