Expired Great Artists Series: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec… and the Birth of the Modern Print

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec… and the Birth of the Modern Print Thu., Feb. 3 1:30 – 3:00 pm Sometimes a new technology arrives at just the right time; for a new middle class seeking fun, for entrepreneurs hoping their theaters and clubs will thrive and for Henry Toulouse-Lautrec who sought acceptance as a handicapped person and as an artist documenting famous entertainers, addicts, and women of the night.  For the brief span of a decade, Toulouse-Lautrec’s posters were the most widely exhibited art in the world. His work graphic design has stood the test of time; his lithographs advertising Moulin Rouge define 1890s Paris in the minds of most of us. Hybrid class at TSC and on Zoom. Instructor Tom Friedman. $5 fee. Adult subject matter.
