Artist Biography: Painter, draftsman, lithographer, etcher. Born HENRI-MARIE-RAYMONDE DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC-MONFA . With great psychological insight, observed and documented the personalities and other facets of Parisian night life and modern culture in the 1890s. Use of free-flowing, expressive line, often becoming pure arabesque, resulted in highly rhythmical compositions. Extreme simplification in outline and movement and the use of large color planes make Lautrec's posters some of his most powerful works. ~~Reference: Wittrock, Wolfgang.
