Art of Toulouse-Lautrec Calendar

Toulouse-Lautrec Calendar 2016 Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a famous artist of late 19th century France and one of the leading members of the French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements in painting. Born into an aristocratic French family, Lautrec injured his legs in a childhood horse-riding accident that impeded this growth and left him short-statured for the remainder of his life. Studying art from a young age, the painter fell under the influence of the rising Impressionist school, especially that of the older artist Edgar Degas. Lautrec had a mastery of colour and gift for drawing that allowed him to create many witty, incisive depictions of the nightlife of Paris and its famous bohemian artists quarter, Montmartre. Developing an oil painting technique based on caricature-like drawing and rapid, broken brushstrokes, Lautrec also pioneered the new methods of printmaking in lithography. To this day Toulouse-Lautrec remains one of the most famous French artists and his works are proudly displayed in many of the great museums of the world.
