About the Item
Toulouse-Lautrec, French book by Gerard Dorozoi, 1992.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864 - 1901) is almost unique among artists because he became as famous for his appearance and personality as his art. The circumstances of Toulouse-Lautrec's life have often colored interpretations of his career within the artistic community of fin-de-siècle Paris.
The painter Toulouse-Lautrec is often overshadowed by the legend built around his illnesses, his existence on the fringes, and his love of brothels.
Without neglecting that his life was indeed pathetic - but also joyful - it is time to look at his painting and situate it in the artistic context of his time to grasp better its singularity. More or less direct criticism of academism and firefighters, initial collusion with Impressionism soon kept at a distance, indifference towards theoretical debates but relations of trust with the writers and artists of La Revue Blanche. These are some of the angles approaches taken in this book. Until the enigma of a work entirely dedicated to crudely showing places, shows, and women (singers, bourgeois, or prostitutes - without discrimination) ends up giving rise to mythology covering it.
Before that, there was the relevance of a gaze, the insatiable desire to grasp the truth of gestures, shapes, bodies, and the distressing secret that inhabits them. This approach uses documentation and synthesis to restore the aspiration and the look.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
