# Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (@henri-de-toulouse-lautrec)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter, draftsman, and printmaker who made late nineteenth-century Montmartre into a defining subject of modern art. His images of cabarets, dancers, singers, spectators, and sex workers joined close observation to radical graphic simplification.

His posters helped turn commercial lithography into a major artistic form, creating recognizable public identities for performers. The work also records the class mixing, labor, display, and loneliness behind Belle Époque nightlife.
