Henri Marie Raymond Count de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (Albi, 24 November 1864 - Château Malromé (Gironde), 9 September 1901) was a French painter, graphic artist and lithographer.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is the poster designer, painter and chronicler of his time, the "belle époque". He is also the decadent aristocrat who takes pleasure in depicting the filth, political disorder, hypocrisy and loneliness of his time. He sketches the outcasts of his society, in their most intimate moments. He is also the broken man who is himself part of the black night of Paris and the artist above all who looks and depicts, without moralising and without pretentious commentary.
Toulouse-Lautrec's works are considered to belong to Impressionism, from the early 1890s more particularly post-impressionism, characterized by meticulous divisions of planes with clear outlines and bright colours.
