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.”
