Summary

"This book will be welcomed by general readers and certainly by visitors to the exhibition, both for deftly integrating its many visual images with accessible writing and for addressing the work of other artists overlooked in previous considerations of Toulouse-Lautrec. This is no small accomplishment."--Gabriel P. Weisberg, University of Minnesota ""Toulouse-Lautrec and Montmartre" offers a major new presentation of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, one that stays clear of the sensationalized biographical focus of earlier approaches. Both through the art it presents and through essays by authors who each bring extensive credentials to their work, it represents a fresh look at Toulouse-Lautrec's art-and at an otherwise little-explored gallery of works and artists who reflect kinship with Toulouse-Lautrec's style and subject matter."--Reinhold Heller, University of Chicago
