Reproduction Portfolio After Henri Toulouse-Lautrec "Le Jeune Routy à Céleyran"

Item Details

A portfolio of reproduction metzographs on laid paper after well-listed artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864 – 1901). Titled Le Jeune Routy à Céleyran, the portfolio was originally published in 1975 by the Musée Albi. The complete set includes all eleven prints, a table of contents, publication information, and a descriptive introduction. Housed inside a fabric-bound hardcover portfolio with a string closure.

Toulouse-Lautrec was born in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France and moved to Paris in 1882 where he shaped his artistic career by working in the studios of artists he greatly admired. His immersion in the flamboyant and theatrical subculture nightlife of cabaret dancers, bohemians, and prostitutes of turn-of-the-century Paris, particularly at the Moulin Rouge cabaret, allowed him to produce an enticing and provocative body of work accurately representing the modern, sometimes dark, life of those times, earning him rights to becoming known as “the soul of Montmartre.”
