Toulouse-Lautrec shows the fairytale shows of the "beautiful era"

A wealthy aristocrat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) remained infirm at the age of 5, following a fall. But his gifts for drawing quickly ensured his success. He can organize a life of Parisian night owl on the lookout for fairy tale shows where he finds the compensation of a depressing reality. Like Degas, he is fascinated by movement and femininity. Satirical cartoonist, between Daumier and Forain, he imposed himself in modern lithography for advertising purposes. In this ambiguous "beautiful era" it shows the "places of passage" from prosaic to the unreal, the artifice of the festival. The derisory can become sublime and the artist, a sad clown, serves as a revealing witness.
