Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec - Exhibition

Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec

Exhibition of Toulouse-Lautrec work. Usually i dotn like exibitions about RL artists, web is full of better pics then the ones that SL offer. I make an exception to this one. "Toulouse-Lautrec spent much time in brothels, where he was accepted by the prostitutes and madams to such an extent that he often moved in, and lived in a brothel for weeks at a time. He shared the lives of the women who made him their confidant, painting and drawing them at work and at leisure. Lautrec recorded their intimate relationships, which were often lesbian. A favourite model was a red-haired prostitute called Rosa la Rouge from whom he allegedly contracted syphilis. An alcoholic for most of his adult life, Toulouse-Lautrec was placed in a sanatorium shortly before his death. He died from complications due to alcoholism and syphilis." TP - HERE
