Special issue Connaissance des arts Toulouse-Lautrec, Créateurs d'icônes

Published in conjunction with the exhibition devoted to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and presented at the Hôtel de Caumont - Centre d'Art, this publication offers an accessible reappraisal of the work of this major late 19th-century artist. It opens with an interview with the exhibition curator and explores the art of the poster, a field in which Toulouse-Lautrec profoundly transformed visual codes. The book also situates his work within the context of the Belle Époque in France, before highlighting the modernity of his work, marked by bold compositions and a lasting influence on contemporary imagery.
