Henri de toulouse-lautrec
1864-1901
French painter and printmaker. He is best known for his portrayals of late 19th-century Parisian life, particularly working-class, cabaret, circus, nightclub and brothel scenes. He was admired then as he is today for his unsentimental evocations of personalities and social mores. While he belonged to no theoretical school, he is sometimes classified as Post-Impressionist. His greatest contemporary impact was his series of 30 posters (1891-1901), Related Paintings of Henri de toulouse-lautrec :. | Klaunka Cha ao v Moulin Rouge | Jane Avril Dancing (mk09) | Woman Combing her Hair | The Jockey | The Moorish Dance | Related Artists: Nono, LuigiItalian, 1850-1918 Balthasar Anton DunkerGerman, 1746-1807 KAUFFMANN, AngelicaSwiss Neoclassical Painter, 1741-1807
Swiss-born Italian painter. She began studying art in Italy as a child, showing great precocity, and in 1766 her friend Joshua Reynolds took her to London. There she became known for her decorative work with architects such as Robert Adam. Her pastoral compositions incorporate delicate and graceful depictions of gods and goddesses; though her paintings are Rococo in tone and approach, her figures are Neoclassical (see Classicism and Neoclassicism). Her portraits of female sitters are among her finest works.
