Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, perhaps the greatest graphic artist of his time, is most widely remembered for his bold, colorful posters of Parisian entertainers. The son of an eccentric aristocrat, he spent his childhood at the family chateau in southwest France, where he suffered the falls, which broke both his legs and stunted his growth. By the times he moved to Paris at the age of 17, he was ill proportioned and dwarfish.
Despite his upper class background, Lautrec felt most at home in the nightclubs, dance halls and brothels of Paris, where he spent his time drinking and drawing his friends and associates: his art centers entirely around the narrow life he led. He reached his peak both as a painter and poster artist in the early 1890s, before alcoholism took its toll. He died a broken, pathetic figure at the age of 36.
