Color: Color

Description: Looks at the legendary, aristocratic Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), who became the painter of the darker side of Parisian life at the end of the nineteenth century. An artist who fleetingly captured the facade of "gay Paris," its dances and cafe concerts, circuses and cabarets, but who broke through into an underworld of pimps and prostitutes, of promiscuity and pleasure tempered by the ravages of disease and the chronic effects of alcoholism.
