Lecture with a Glass of Wine: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

What do the Crusades, Post-Impressionism, advertising posters, and costume parties have in common? Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec!
An aristocrat, reveler, creator, and one of the most unusual figures of the artistic profession, who, in his relatively short life, managed to turn upside down the bourgeois perception of art in Paris’s Belle Époque — and now our own.

• How did his technique differ from that of his contemporaries, and why do we often confuse Toulouse-Lautrec with Degas?

• Why is he called the “chronicler” of the Moulin Rouge, and how did his posters save the most famous cabaret?

• Who was Toulouse-Lautrec’s greatest inspiration, and which events became decisive in his life and work?

The lecture will be delivered by Pasha Rost — painter, illustrator, and graduate of the Florence Academy of Art, Faculty of Academic Painting.
