Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
El Teatro
(SOLD OUT EDITION)
El Teatro (The Theater) of Toulouse-Lautrec approaches the cultural and urban life of the Parisian cabarets and the Montmartre district through the work of the French painter.
ARTIKA has worked together with the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum in Albi on this limited numbered artist’s book of 2,998 copies.
The Art Book features 30 lithographs reproducing scenes and characters captured by the artist during his many visits to theaters.
The plates, with the seal of the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, are attached to a triptych and are completed with fragments of the plays in the illustrations, reviews of the period or statements by the author himself.
The Study Book analyzes in depth the artistic career of Toulouse-Lautrec by Danièle Devynck, Julien Dumas and Valèria Gaillard, and includes the analysis of all the plates of the work. Finally, the book Montmartre immerses us in the mythical Parisian neighborhood of the 19th century and its bohemian spirit with exclusive material and testimonies of the time compiled by Oscar Jané.
