From the gaslit stages of the Moulin Rouge to the smoky interiors of Montmartre's cabarets and brothels, Harris chronicles how this aristocratic artist — crippled by illness yet possessed of an extraordinary visual acuity — immortalised the performers, outcasts, and pleasure-seekers of Belle Époque France with a lithographic mastery that would permanently alter the course of Western art.\n\nHarris argues compellingly that Toulouse-Lautrec's genius lay not merely in technical brilliance, but in a deep, non-judgmental empathy for his subjects, rendering them with a psychological depth rarely seen in the decorative arts of his era. Drawing on the full sweep of the artist's career, the text illuminates the Japanese woodblock influences, the bold flat colours, and the sweeping contour lines that made Lautrec's posters as arresting today as they were in the 1890s. Whether you are a seasoned art historian or a curious newcomer, this richly illustrated volume will leave you questioning just how much of modern graphic design owes its very soul to one restless, visionary misfit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609694114011,"sku":"2026200018571-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3db1bb66-d425-41c2-af53-80d32ad0d3cb.png?v=1791764650","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018571-secondhand-the-art-of-toulouse-lautrec","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
