Art Museums of the World : Toulouse-Lautrec Museum : Images of Monmatre and mother
The Henri Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, in the artist's home town of Albi, holds a wide range of his work, from his portraits of renowned artists to his well-known illustrations. It also houses archaeological finds and more modern art. Post-impressionist painter of much fame and great infamy, Toulouse-Lautrec rose to fame for his iconic Moulin Rouge poster and came to command a place among the foremost of his contemporaries. Born in Albi in 1864 into a wealthy family, Toulouse-Lautrec's life was transformed when fractures in both his legs left him disabled. His choice of career surprised his well-to-do family, all the more so when he began to associate with the more colourful side of 19th-century Parisian life and creating posters for cabaret shows.
