Numerous photographs, letters, and contemporary documents supplement a chronological and detailed study of Lautrec's life and work. "Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec has become a legendary personage. Some biographers have suggested that he led a dissolute immoral life; a motion picture depicting Lautrec's life also intimated that he possessed a grotesque malady. These legends receive little support in Lautrec by Lautrec, which avowedly aims to show that the painter was not a monster. From the wealth of previously unpublished material including many of the painter's own letters, the coauthors have drawn much of the content of their volume. They succeed in creating a bond of sympathy for the painter which extends beyond appreciation of his art." ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 276 pages. Very Good+ .
