Although a great deal has already been written about Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the dwarfed son of one of France's most aristocratic families who became one of the most controversial artists of late nineteenth century Paris and one of her most notorious bohemians, this book surely has a claim to being his definitive biography. Not only is it carefully researched, not only does it contain little-known material about Lautrec's family and unusual photographs of Lautrec and his friends, but it is extremely readable. Reprint of the early definitive biography of Toulouse-Lautrec. Illustrated throughout with many photos, drawings. 364 pages, indexed.
