The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec
March 10, 2017 — June 18, 2017
Past Exhibition
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s radical, bold, and often outrageous posters share the spotlight with his sketches and illustrations in our Spring keynote exhibition.
One of Paris’ key post-Impressionist artists, Toulouse-Lautrec frequented the city’s many entertainment establishments, including the popular Moulin Rouge.
He was commissioned to produce posters promoting new Cafe-Concerts, groundbreaking performers like Jane Avril, and audacious impresarios like Aristide Bruant. Like many Parisian artists Toulouse-Lautrec drew inspiration from the Japanese prints being exported to Europe, which offered new ways of looking at the world, and a selection of these works are on display in a companion exhibition.
The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec: Prints and Posters from The Museum of Modern Art is organized by Sarah Suzuki, Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints, The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
This exhibition is organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York. For more information, see our press release or these features from the Daily Press, Virginian-Pilot, or WVEC.
A companion exhibition inside these gallery walls looks at what inspired the French artists of this age.
